Basic Site Details | Name: | House, Princes Street and St Andrew Street corner | | City or county: | Edinburgh | | Country: | Scotland | | Parish: | | | Status: | | | Grid ref: | | | Notes: | Crichton was commissioned to re-design the basement and ground floor and he did so in a way that was common on the older timber fronted tenements in High Street but unusual in shop front design in the New Town. It had an upper row of large windows giving a clear view of the inside as well as windows on the ground floor. In the end the Dean of Guild Court stipulated that the piers had to be larger than originally intended. | Alternative Names| The following alternative names are associated with this building/design: | | | Name | Current name? | Notes |  | Turf Coffee House | | |
