Scope and Content Crown Hotel, Princes Street, Edinburgh Princes Street was originally the south-facing terrace of James Craig's New Town. From the 1830s, reconstruction continued to transform the street into Edinburgh's principal thoroughfare of hotels, department stores, shops, offices and clubs. The Crown Hotel was one of the original plain-fronted three-storeyed Georgian buildings in Princes Street. A long-established hotel, it was demolished to make way for F W Woolworth's store in 1925. The first house in Princes Street was built on this site in 1769 for John Neale, a silk mercer, who took advantage of the offer of inducement to build: that it would be exempt from rates for his time of occupancy.
