Offices, now hotel/restaurant. 1906-08 by Fred T. Walker for The Edinburgh Life Assurance Co. The 1908 building was constructed on the footprint of what was 19 and 21 Mosley Street which housed a shop, café and tea room. The propsal was in line with the general plan to locate prominent banks and financial institutions on Mosley Street. The 1906 works subsumed the basement and lower basements of 2 and 4 Grey Street as these had previously been linked to 21 Mosley Street. The basements of 19 and 21 Mosley Street were completely dug out during the works. 1908 building: Red granite ground floor; ashlar above; roof not visible. Classical framework with diverse details. 5 storeys and attic; 3 bays, the central wider and with
tripartite windows. Banded ground and first floors, the former having 2 large
openings, segmental and round-arched, and a round-headed doorway with weighty
bracketed hood. Coved ground-floor cornice. Wide band above first floor serves
as base for Corinthian Order through second and third floors, with 4 engaged
columns. Quasi-classical window treatment with pediments on second floor. Deep
modillioned cornice. Top storey has deeply-recessed windows and is surmounted by a central attic in the form of an Egyptian temple with flanking balustrades. Rear
link to No. 10 Grey Street (HER 9026) where the same materials are easily recognised. The ground floor of the new 21 Mosley Street was planned out as the public hall, counter and associated offices for Edinburgh Life and the next three floors laid out between 4-6 offices per floor. The basements were a double height restaurant accessed from the ground floor entrance of 10 Grey Street (the kitchen and storage for the restaurant were located in the basements of 2-4 Grey Street). Air shelters were proposed within the basement (restaurant) in 1939 but there is no records to suggest if this was implemented. By the mid 1970s the building was empty and remained so for at least 15 years. The building was eventually converted into a hotel in 2002. Internally it retains the 1908 staircase with marble or similar wall finish.
