Description

Horseburghs Warehouse, located on Lamer Street in Dunbar, is a late 18th-century, three-storey warehouse. The main block runs north-south and features two lower kiln blocks at the southeast. The exterior is constructed of random rubble that was previously harled. The building has piended roofs, with a gable roof at the north end.

The west elevation has seven bays, but the openings have been significantly altered, with many now blocked. There are two timber kiln vents situated at the summits of the southeast blocks. Additionally, there is a scale and platt forestair addition from 1919 on the north gable front, which includes a sash window at the top.
