This rubble-built tenement, six storeys and an attic in height, faces the street and includes at street level a modern shop and the entry to Jackson's Close. The facade above represents a remodelling of about 1700. More recently both of the chimney-stalks have been renewed in brick. The interior has been modernised. Extending northwards from this tenement are two others in sequence, bounded on the W by Lyon's Close and on the E by Jackson's Close. The more southerly of these, comprising a cellarage and two upper floors may be as late as the 18th century. The interior, without any interest but for some panelling of late Georgian type, is now used as a store. The more northerly, five storeys in height, seems to date from the late 17th century, but has undergone alteration both in the century following and recently.

RCAHMS 1951.
