Scope and Content Scene of the fire at the Palace Hotel, Nos 113-17 Princes Street, Edinburgh The huge five-storeyed Palace Hotel, on the corner of Princes Street and Castle Street, was designed by James Macintyre Henry in 1888 in a wave of Victorian reconstruction that transformed Princes Street into Edinburgh's principal thoroughfare. This shows the scene of devastation after fire swept through the hotel in June 1991. The building on the right, Debenhams department store, was unaffected. The hotel was later demolished. The Palace Hotel was one of the great Victorian hotel and department store buildings that helped to transform Princes Street in the late 19th century into what the Edinburgh writer Robert Louis Stevenson called 'a terrace of palaces'.
