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). This shows detail of the floral carvings to the keystones and corbel brackets between and above the shouldered, segmental-arched plate glass shop windows on Grove Street elevation.
