This 18th-century tenement of six storeys has a main block to the street, the entry to Strichen's Close running through its centre, while a wing extends along either side of the Close. On the ground floor are two shops, but above these the frontage has five windows with back-set margins on each floor. The entry to the upper floors is in the W. wing, where rises a turnpike stair with a massive newel. None of the internal finishings is original.
