Standing Building Recording (1 April 2010)
NT 24387 73734 A Level 1 standing building survey was carried out in April 2010 on a lean-to structure and garden walls at the rear of 21 Melville Street prior to its demolition and redevelopment. The house at 21 Melville Street is a Category A listed building and lies within part of an extensive classical terrace designed by Robert Brown in 1814. Melville Street forms the central axis of the Walker Estate residential scheme and forms an integral part of this section of Edinburgh’s New Town. The lean-to structure and the shed appear contemporary, and both post-date the construction of the walls and the main building, although their depiction on early town plans would suggest they were built shortly after completion of the Melville Street terrace.
