What is recorded here

32a Castle Street in Edinburgh has worn three identities: an eighteenth-century tenement, a nineteenth-century shop, and a twentieth-century office. The building still stands on Castle Street, but no public record confirms whether its rooms remain open or sealed. It may be that the address changed jobs while the stones kept their shape, passing from domestic life to commerce and finally to administration without losing the memory of any one use.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, 32a Castle Street as Office (20th Century), Shop (19th Century), Tenement (18th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
