Description

10-12 High Street in Dalkeith is a two-storey and attic department store designed by Charles Henry Greig in 1906, featuring Mannerist details. The building has three bays with a central entrance bay and is currently divided into two shops. The western elevation is constructed of ashlar with red polished granite at the ground level, while the eastern elevation is pebble-dashed. The building has a coped parapet that is raised at each end and over the central bay.

On the western elevation facing High Street, there is a chamfered and keystoned round-arched doorway at the center, set in a channelled surround with moulded imposts and a dentilled cornice. The vestibule features a two-leaf glazed door, which is the original door now providing access to the shop on the right. Above the doorway is an aedicule that includes a keystoned and architraved window, flanked by pilasters with consoles and a segmental pediment above, which contains a cartouche in the raised section of the parapet. The original shop window in the right bay is tripartite with slender iron columns and canopy fixtures, while the left bay has a modern shop front with a central entrance. The first floor features depressed-arched tripartite shop windows in the outer bays, with moulded reveals and consoled keystones, and pilasters with bracketed gablets.

The eastern elevation has two-storey and single-storey projections to the right, with several entrances at ground level and irregularly sized fenestration. The northern elevation is adjoined to a lower modern block, while the southern elevation is connected to a later 19th-century three-storey tenement at numbers 6 and 8 High Street.

The building showcases a variety of glazing patterns, including plate glass in the display windows and coloured patterned glass in the upper panes of the first-floor display windows. It has a mansard roof with deep skews, featuring three flat-roofed, corniced dormer windows on the western pitch—four-light in the outer windows and three-light in the center, which has a pediment detail and small-pane glazing in the casement windows. The roof is covered with grey-green slates.
