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 foliate carved brackets below attic mansard roof on Fountainbridge elevation. The dormer windows in the roof have 'barley sugar' twisted design columns on either side.
