Description
48A Frederick Street and 48 in Edinburgh is a classical tenement building constructed between 1786 and 1792, with some later alterations. It stands three storeys high with an attic and features a three-bay facade made of droved cream ashlar sandstone. The ground floor has a later 19th-century three-bay shopfront with slender Corinthian columns on the left side (No 48) and a two-bay shopfront on the right (No 48a) that includes a consoled cornice. The building has an eaves cornice.
At the rear, there is a four-storey two-bay elevation made of rubble. To the south, there is a two-storey, two-bay coach house with an M-shaped roof, which has rooms above and a single-storey link to the shop.
The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass. The building features an ashlar-coped mutual skew and a stone stack to the south, with a roof covered in grey slates. The roofline is continuous with a four-bay, four-storey and attic corner block (No 50), which was designed by Covell, Matthews & Partners in 1969.
The interior was not seen in 1995.
