Scope and Content The oldest building in this sector of the north side of Fountainbridge is at Nos 158-64 Fountainbridge. This Category-A listed building was built in 1864 to designs by the architect Frederick Thomas Pilkington (1832-98). This engaging take on the traditional tenement form is enlivened by an unusually ornate three-dimensional façade. The ground floor was built to be used as a shop (and a Post Office, as shown on the Ordnance Survey 3rd Edition 1:1056 map of 1894). As can be seen in this view, there are shouldered, segmental-arched plate glass shop windows in the two bays to the left, with a round-arched pedestrian doorway at the right. There are also decorative brackets at the base of the advanced wallhead stack.
