Description
74, 75, and 77 Queen Street in Edinburgh date back to around 1790, with later alterations made at the ground level and the facade retained in 1984. The building features three storeys plus a basement and attic, showcasing a 10-bay classical facade that now serves as a modern office. It is constructed from droved cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings and consists of two distinct blocks.
Number 74 is a three-bay section with channelled rustication at the ground level. It includes an earlier 19th-century pedimented porch with fluted Greek Ionic columns on the left bay. The upper floors have cill courses, a mutuled cornice, and a blocking course. There is a modern piend-roofed tripartite dormer.
Numbers 75 and 77 form a seven-bay section with V-jointed rustication at the ground level. The centre features a former common stair door, while to the left is a tripartite Roman Doric pilastered doorpiece (a modern reinstatement). To the right, there is a similar four-bay pilastered shopfront with a fluted Ionic columned doorpiece, all of which have been much restored. The first floor has a moulded cill course, a mutuled cornice, and a blocking course, along with six modern piend-roofed dormers.
The windows are timber sash and case with 12 panes. The building has ashlar coped skews, a surviving stone stack to the west, and a rebuilt stack to the east, all covered with grey slates.
Inside, the building has a modern office interior featuring reused chimneypieces in the front rooms. Additionally, there are cast-iron spearhead railings surrounding the property.
