Abstract:		 Addyman undertook archaeological works associated with the demolition of 38 Gardner's Crescent, City of Edinburgh. An initial archaeological building assessment, including desk-based work and inspection and record of the building in its as-existing state, was followed by additional building recording and monitoring during demolition of the structure, and an archaeological watching-brief over ground-breaking works following its removal. Cartographic evidence indicated the structure had been erected upon a green-field site between 1836 and 1851. By the latter date it was established as an L-plan building that had evidently been designed as warehousing. The structure as existing in early 2013, heavily overlain with modern finishes and linings, was found to incorporate the entirety of the earlier L-plan building. This earlier structure was itself found to be of two periods, phase 1 constituting a north/south aligned range fronting onto the west side of Gardner's Crescent, this of three bays, four stories and a loft. The structure was of simple utilitarian character, of rubble masonry sandstone with well-tooled unornamented dressings. Phase 2 represented a northwards extension including a westwards-running jamb. The similarity in construction suggests phase 2 followed on very rapidly from the original build. In the early 20th century the structure was further extended (phase 3). This involved the infilling of the court to the SW, within the re-entrant of the L-plan, to form a larger structure that was approximately square in plan and unified beneath a single new timber roof structure that was in part supported by steel framing. The structure seems still to have been employed for warehouse use. Phase 4 saw conversion in c.1980 for office use.
