7-17 Great Junction Street, Edinburgh

This building, located at 7-17 Great Junction Street in Edinburgh, dates from around 1860 and is a plain classical tenement that stands four stories tall with an attic and shops on the ground floor. It is constructed from cream sandstone, featuring ashlar on the main façades, polished at the ground level, and droved above. The rear and side elevations are made of coursed rubble with stugged dressings. Notable architectural details include a band course and cornice above the ground floor, a cill band course at the third floor, and an eaves cornice.

The northeast elevation facing Great Junction Street has ten bays, with chamfered reveals around the doorways. The shopfronts have been replaced with modern designs, and there are common stair doorways that feature three-pane fanlights. The upper floors have single windows, with a blinded window in the seventh bay. The roof includes five single dormers with half-pitched roofs.

The southwest rear elevation has irregularly placed windows and wallhead stacks. The building features 12-pane timber sash and case windows at the front and plate glass windows at the rear. The roof is covered with slate and has metal flashings, with stacks at the apex, wallhead, and mutual locations.

The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1993.
