Scope and Content Doorpiece at No 64 Queen Street, Edinburgh No 64 Queen Street, built in 1790 for Francis, 7th Earl of Wemyss, was, like Baron Orde's house at No 8 Queen Street and Sir Lawrence Dundas' mansion in St Andrew Square, one of the grandest houses in the New Town. The entrance to No 64, at the west end of the front, has an elaborate semicircular wrought-iron fanlight and side-lights. The doorway is flanked by columns and headed by an ornamental frieze. The lamp-standard, one of a pair, would have held an oil lamp. In Queen Street, the entrance to the house was normally at one end of the front, and usually framed by shafts or pilasters. Each entrance has a fanlight above, and often long narrow flanking windows to admit as much light as possible into the vestibule. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
