Scope and Content Nos 108-110 Princes Street, Edinburgh Princes Street was originally the south-facing terrace of James Craig's New Town. From the 1830s, Victorian reconstruction transformed the street into Edinburgh's principal thoroughfare of hotels, department stores, shops, offices and clubs. The former Liberal Club was built in 1869 as the Palace Hotel in a French Renaissance style by John Lessels. It was the first hotel to be built with a mansard roof. The ground-floor shop of John Taylor and Son has an unusual cast iron galleried interior. The shop at No 110, originally the showroom of the cabinetmaker John Taylor, is the oldest of three surviving examples of cast-iron galleried interiors in Scotland; the others are Jenners, and the former Wylie & Lochhead's department store in Glasgow.
