Jenners, Department store and category A listed building on Princes Street, Edinburgh, Scotland
The grand Victorian structure features three floors with open balconies surrounding a central atrium adorned with ornate architectural details and female caryatids.
Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington established the store in 1838, and after a fire in 1892, William Hamilton Beattie designed the current building completed in 1895.
The store maintained a Royal Warrant from 1911, serving as a premier shopping destination for Edinburgh residents and visitors seeking high-quality merchandise.
The building transformation project includes plans for 96 hotel rooms, retail spaces on lower levels, restaurants, and cafes while preserving the original architectural elements.
The department store introduced advanced technology for its time, incorporating hydraulic elevators and electrical systems during the Victorian era construction.
