Dublin Street, Edinburgh
Dublin Street, Edinburgh

Built c.1801. Broached ashlar sandstone with V-jointed rustication at principal floor. Round-arched doorpieces with Ionic columns supporting entablature, with foliated necking and fluted frieze. In the distance, the Firth of Forth.

Part of the 2nd phase of Edinburgh’s New Town and a significant surviving part of one of the best preserved and most important examples of urban planning in Britain. Formerly named Duke Street (renamed 1966), it was feued by the Magistrates in 1799. Building began in 1801. It was continued northwards by Reid and Sibbald as Dublin Street in 1802 as part of their plan for the extension of the New Town.

Robert Reid (1774-1856) was the principal government architect in Scotland at the beginning of the 19th century. His buildings were usually in the Classical style. His work included the Parliament Square façade and the northern extension to the New Town where plans were drawn up with William Sibbald with Reid designing the main elevations.
