Description

8, 9, 10 Bristo Place is an earlier 19th-century tenement building with a later 19th-century shopfront, located in Edinburgh. This four-storey structure features a narrow bowed corner, with four bays facing Bristo Place and three bays facing Bristo Port. The exterior is made of droved ashlar, painted at the ground level. It has a continuous cornice at the ground floor, a cill band at the second floor, and projecting cills at the first and third floors, along with an eaves cornice and blocking course. The shopfront has stop-chamfered, shoulder-arched openings, while there are blind windows in the centre bay at the ground floor and in the outer right bay at the first and second floors on Bristo Port.

Adjacent to this, 3 Bristo Port is a three-storey, three-bay commercial warehouse. It is also constructed of droved ashlar and painted. The outer left bay features crane hoist doors at the first and second floors. The entrance includes a timber door, with the upper half glazed and a small pane glazed fanlight above. The entire elevation displays a faded painted business name.

The windows throughout mostly consist of 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, along with fixed single pane casements and a modern glazed door at the shopfront corner. Number 9 has a timber door with a fanlight, while numbers 8, 9, and 10 Bristo Place share a piended double pitched roof, and 3 Bristo Port has a pitched roof. The roofs are covered with grey slates and feature a corniced wallhead stack, ridge stacks, and circular clay cans.

The interior, as seen in 2001, includes some cornicing and fireplaces.
