Scope and Content Late Georgian shop front at No 38 George Street, Edinburgh George Street was originally two opposite rows of plain-fronted houses. As the grand central thoroughfare of James Craig's New Town, it was made wider than its sister streets, Princes Street and Queen Street. This elegant late Georgian shop front has a central door with Ionic columns on either side, and is reached by a flight of stone steps from the pavement, as if it were still a house. George Street had no shops at first, but quite early in the 19th century a few select establishments began to appear on the ground floors of houses. With the Victorian age came the projecting shop front, built out over the basement area. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
