Description
The former East Lothian Courier Warehouse, known as The Granary, is an early 19th century building that incorporates earlier elements. It is a three-storey structure with an attic and has a rectangular plan, originally serving as a grain store. The building has undergone alterations in the early 21st century to convert it into flats.
The façade features a central segmental arched opening with a pitched, stone pediment and slate cheeked former hoist opening, which breaks the eaves and includes a hoist bracket. The stonework is made of random rubble with rough hewn quoins and window surrounds. The outer bays on the ground floor have wide squared openings, which have been later infilled with early 21st century larch timber slatted and louvred glazing details. Three doorways have been infilled to create windows.
The roof includes lead-clad shallow pitched cat-slide box dormers, interspersed with rooflights on both the front and rear. The northern gable is plain stone and has blocked former openings. The windows are paired, three-pane, side-hung timber windows that create a six-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with slate, and the building features plain stone skews and cast-iron rainwater goods.
