In the period between 1900 and 1972, the building served as Dr Petrie's surgery, having previously been a Grocer's under S M Pottinger. Despite later glazing alterations, the building retains many characteristics of late 18th century merchant houses in Stromness - deep-set door and windows, small openings in relations to wall area and a wide space between the lintels of the 1st floor windows and the wallhead.
