16. Lady Stair's Close, 477 Lawnmarket.
The N.E. corner of the Close is modern but the buildings on the E. side, which look into Bank Street and extend S. to the Lawnmarket, date from the last years of the 17th century. The ground floor, which rests on a cellarage, has been converted into shops. Above these there are five floors and an attic, which were reached from a newel-stair entered from a moulded doorway in the court, but which have recently been condemned and are nowu ninhabited. The part at present open to inspection shows no features of interest. The masonry is rubble, with chamfered dressings at the windows.
