history
The Scottish architect Charles Wilson submitted the earliest designs for the row of buildings in February 1855. A revision of the plans was commissioned, which was completed in January 1856. In the following years the designs were carried out. The facades of houses number 1 and 2 protrude slightly from the facade and were possibly the first to be erected.
