Description
60 Princes Street in Edinburgh is a six-storey, two-bay Jacobean shop building designed by Hippolyte J Blanc in 1903, featuring a modern shopfront. The building has a narrow gabled frontage made of polished cream sandstone ashlar, which has been cleaned.
On the first and second floors, there are pairs of three-light canted windows with ashlar mullions and transoms, and strapwork balustrading at the first floor. The third floor features a pair of four-light windows with a full-width Roman Doric columned gallery, along with a strapwork balustrade and parapet. The fourth floor has four bipartite windows and a bracketed cornice. The gable is adorned with a pair of pilastered and corniced windows, framed by narrow pilasters and corbelled octagonal towers topped with tiny domed finials.
The building has multi-pane metal casement windows, ashlar coped skews, a corniced stack, and grey slates. The interior consists of a modern shop on the ground and first floors, which is linked to the shop to the east.
