Description

28-32 Haddington Place is a classical tenement building designed by Robert Brown in 1825. It is a four-storey and basement structure featuring eight bays in a terraced layout. The ground floor includes pilastered or Ionic columned shops, arranged in a 1-4-3 grouping, with four bays at the center and left side recessed. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar and showcases an entablature that serves as a fascia band, a decorative balcony on the first floor, and a cill cornice course at the same level. The windows on the first floor have moulded architraves with cornice and consoled pediments on the outer left and penultimate right. The second floor also features moulded architraves, and there is a band course between the third and fourth floors, topped with an eaves cornice and blocking course. The entrance steps and platforms are made of ashlar and extend over the basement.

On the principal elevation, the entrance is highlighted by a fanlight and flanked by Ionic columns in antis in the outer left bay. There are additional entrances with fanlights in bays three and five, each accompanied by large shop windows to the left. The penultimate bay to the right has paired entrances with fanlights, framed by paired Ionic columns in antis, with single columns flanking the shop windows. The fenestration above is regular, diminishing in height towards the wallhead attic.

At the rear, the Annandale Street Lane mews serves Nos 30 and 32 Annandale Street Lane and features largely altered carriage entrances at ground level, with timber lintels, a hay loft with doors, and brick-blocked openings.

The building has timber sash and case windows with 12-pane glazing, and 15-pane glazing on the first floor. It also has gable head and ridge stacks with terracotta cans, as well as ornamental cast-iron railings. The interior was not seen in 1998.
