Hide AdThis house at 5 Melville Crescent has a history which is typical of the area’s emergence as a prestigious residential area in the 19th century and its subsequent changes.
The A-listed, terraced townhouse was originally the home of Mary Walker who with her sister funded the building of St Mary’s Cathedral, which dominates the West End.
The house was home to a chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland in the mid-1800s, while the pioneering children’s doctor, John Playfair, took over the property in 1888.
The building went on to become head office for Boots in the last century and was used as a commercial property thereafter.
