Apparently a WW1 drill hall for 1 Lothian Brigade, Bearer Companies (HQ) http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/WW1-Great-War-Centenary---Drill-Halls/18#lothians although it does not look as if it was planned to be any different from an ordinary house in a terrace, as it is now. Further research shows that the 1st Lothians Bearer Company became the 3rd Lowland Field Ambulance RAMC in 1908 and by 1914 was based at Easter Road Barracks [thanks to John Maddan for this information].
