Description

33 Graham Place in Stromness is a house that likely dates from the late 18th to early 19th century, with some later alterations and additions. It is a two-storey and attic, three-bay rectangular-plan symmetrical building, currently converted into a restaurant on the ground floor. To the left, there is an adjoining two-storey, three-bay house, and to the right, a single-storey house, all situated on rising ground to the west. The exterior is painted cement-rendered with lined margins around the windows.

The south elevation features a doorpiece with pilasters, a cornice, and a pediment at the center of the ground floor, with deep-set boarded stable doors and a window above on the first floor. Each bay has a window on both floors.

The east elevation has a two-bay gabled wall with a single-storey house projecting from the right bay at ground level. There is a window in each floor of the left bay, with a gablehead stack above.

The ground floor has two-pane timber sash and case windows, while modern timber-framed windows with top-hung upper lights are present. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a stone ridge, evenly spaced rooflights on the south pitch, and a painted cement-rendered and lined, corniced gablehead stack on the east side. There is a mutual cement-rendered and lined stack on the west side, with uPVC gutters and cast-iron downpipes.

The interior has been converted into a restaurant on the ground floor, with the upper levels remaining unseen since 1997.
