It is not known exactly when the town house was built but by 1820 it was occupied. After being sold for �3000, 16 Coates Crescent was occupied by Girlguiding Scotland (The Girl Guide Association at the time) in 1939.

Now an office and retail space, the building boasts beautiful views of Edinburgh Castle over the city�s chimney pots. Many original features remain including a cupola, highly decorative ceilings and cornicing.
