Statement of Interest

The original houses on this site were demolished in 1962, and replaced by Morris and Steedman's Carron House. The original facades were copied again in 1992 (but on a slightly different building line);

No 114 would have been droved (the original droving can be seen behind the downpipes). Edinburgh's New Town is one of the most important and best preserved examples of urban planning in Britain, and these buildings are listed for their group context. A Group with Nos 106-128 (even nos) George Street.
