Statement of Interest

The first appearance of this building is on the 1891 feuing plan, so we can deduce that it was erected between 1856 and 1891. Permission was sought from the Dean of Guild to build the addition to the outer left (NE) in 1987 and the conservatory in 1990. The listing includes No 32A Marlborough Street.
