The tall stone building has a classical influence with an arched portico at the head of the entrance stairs and a figurative statue and urns along its roof line. Outside on the pavement a man balances on a long plank of wood whilst working on a gas street light. The building is now occupied by Trinity Academy.

Newhaven was founded by James IV in 1504 as a royal dockyard. It became an important fishing village, famous initially for oysters and later herring. An indoor fish market was built there in 1896. Newhaven fishwives, with their distinctive striped clothes, sold their goods around Edinburgh. David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson famously photographed these fishwives and other Newhaven residents in the 1840's. The area now has a population of roughly five thousand.
