No.2 has paired casement dormer above three plain sashes at each level, at first floor with separate bowed balconettes, and two sixteen-pane sashes to basement, with grilles. To left six-panel door with two-pane transom light, with architrave. No.3 retains glazing-bar sashes, with paired twelve-pane dormer above twelve-pane with separate balconettes and twelve-pane, with sixteen-pane to basement windows with grilles.

Plinth, platband above ground floor, `CHAPEL ROW¿ and `PRINCES STREET¿ incised in Roman lettering, cornice with shallow blocking course and parapet, all returned also to Princes Street. To right of each is rubble stack to coped party division in Nos 1 and 3.

HISTORY: Part of a relatively low-status row designed by Wood the Elder as part of the western extension of the city. The houses were first rated in 1734. Unlike remainder of terrace, this group of three, which is stepped slightly above next group, has retained domestic fenestration at ground floor. Street name derives from chapel built by Wood nearby, off Queen Square, in 1732, and demolished in 1875.
