51, 53, 55, 57, 59 Dublin Street, Edinburgh

51, 53, 55, 57, and 59 Dublin Street in Edinburgh is a terraced tenement building designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald in the early 19th century. This four-storey and basement structure features seven bays and is constructed from broached ashlar sandstone. The principal floor showcases V-jointed rustication, with a band course separating the basement from the principal floor and the principal floor from the first floor. There is a cill course at the first floor, projecting cills at the second and third floor windows, and a cornice with a blocking course at the third floor. The entrance is accessed by ashlar steps and platts that overhang the basement.

On the west elevation, there is a six-panel timber common stair door with a geometric rectangular fanlight, centrally located on the principal floor. This door is flanked by a pair of round-arched doorpieces, each containing six-panel timber doors with plate glass semicircular fanlights. The remaining bays on the principal floor have windows, while the upper floors and basement feature regular fenestration.

The north elevation adjoins a modern terrace that occupies the site of the former Dublin Street Baptist Church. The south elevation is adjacent to another terrace, which is listed separately as 35-49 Dublin Street.

The interiors were not seen in 1997, but there is some evidence of working panelled shutters. The property is also adorned with ashlar copes topped by cast-iron railings featuring spear-headed balusters and urn finials.
