Scope and Content Typical door, Great King Street, Edinburgh Great King Street, designed by Robert Reid in 1804 as the grand central avenue of the northern New Town, links Royal Circus and Drummond Place, which enclose it at either end. Feuing began in 1812, and was completed 1814-23. This six-panelled door has a central divide, a fashionable device to suggest double doors. The fanlight has spokes radiating from the top to a series of small semi-circles in the base. The stonework has recessed V-shaped joints between the ashlar blocks. The typical street door in the early 19th century was six-panelled, with the panels defined by reeded mouldings. It was painted black or bronze-green, and was the principal decorative feature on the front of the house. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
