Edinburgh Dental Hospital And School, 30-31 Chambers Street, Edinburgh

The Edinburgh Dental Hospital and School, located at 30-31 Chambers Street in Edinburgh, is a former institutional building designed by John Begg and/or Alexander Lorne Campbell between 1925 and 1927, with alterations made by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth and Paul in 1953. This four-storey structure features seven bays and exhibits Renaissance architectural elements, including a rusticated ground floor and a dentiled cornice that aligns with the earlier corner building at No 32 Chambers Street.

The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with raised and moulded dressings on the first floor. A base course rises to the ground floor cill level, and there is a projecting moulded and dentiled cornice at the second floor, complemented by a frieze below and a blocking course above. The central entrance is highlighted by a three-bay pilaster design, with a panel above inscribed 'The Edinburgh Dental Hospital And School' and recessed panels above it. Ionic end pilasters on the first and second floors feature obelisk finials similar to those at No 32. The windows at the third bay have channelled dressings, and there is a sculptured armorial panel positioned between the first and second floors. The third floor is treated as an attic and includes recessed, multi-paned, canted bays. The eastern return presents a two-window gable with a raised wallhead stack and an additional stack to the right.

The interior has been extensively refurbished for commercial use. The building predominantly features multi-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey Scottish slate, and there are coped ashlar skews and stacks, along with clay cans and recessed cast-iron rainwater goods.
