Description

132 High Street in Dalkeith is an earlier 19th-century, three-storey corner building that is part of a pair. It features a half-pitched roof and has five bays facing High Street arranged in a 1-1-3 pattern, with one covered corner bay in a recessed panel. The return elevation has three bays arranged in a 2-1 pattern. The exterior is made of finely droved ashlar stone. The ground floor has a modern polished granite shopfront, while the windows on the return elevation are blocked and rendered. There is a cill course at the first and second floors, which does not continue in the three bays to the right on the west elevation. The building has an eaves cornice and a blocking course.

On the west elevation facing High Street, there is a modern shop front and entrance in two bays to the left, with a pend at the center featuring an iron gate. To the right, there is a shop door flanked by paired windows in three bays. The corner bay features Tuscan column-mullioned tripartite bow windows on the first and second floors.

The north elevation has a modern shop front with regular fenestration on the first and second floors, although the window in the bay to the right is blind. The east elevation shows various modern roughcast additions to the rear, including a three-storey gabled block extending east, which is adjoined to the north return elevation. This block has a higher ridge line and an additional storey beyond the center stack to the left, along with a three-storey rubble and harled gabled block to the left.

The south elevation is half rubble and half harled, above the adjoining lower three-storey building at Nos 122-126 High Street, which has a separate listing. The building features a variety of plate glass and small-pane glazing patterns in sash and case windows, with a broad mutual stack at the center of the west pitch and grey slates on the roof.
