Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
4-storey and attic, 6-bay tenement with central wall-head gable. Squared and snecked rubble with ashalr dressings.
A prominently situated 20th century free version of an 18th century tenement whose rear elevation forms a major component of the north side of Chessel's Court. It is an important example of the work of Robert Hurd and Partners and a pivotal building in the regeneration work in the Canongate during the 1960s. Its symmetrical streetfacing elevation adds considerable height and massing to this section of the Canongate.
