Description
6, 8, 10, 12, 14 Waterloo Place in Edinburgh is an office building designed by Archibald Eliot in 1819. It is a three-storey structure with an attic, featuring a slightly advanced central section and outer sections, and it has 25 bays. The building is situated on a steeply sloping site, dropping to seven storeys at the eastern side along Calton Road. The facade is constructed of ashlar stone, while the rear is built of rubble. It includes a base course, band courses, a cornice, and raised cills on the southern side. The recessed sections have a balustraded parapet, and the ground floor features round-arched window recesses with deep-set windows. The entrances on the north and west sides consist of central six-panel, two-leaf doors topped with semi-circular fanlights.
The north elevation is symmetrical, with a slightly advanced central five-bay section and outer three-bay sections. It features a central tetrastyle fluted Ionic portico that rises through the first and second storeys, along with giant Corinthian-style pilasters on the outer three-bay sections, also extending through the first and second storeys.
The west elevation has four bays, with three bays on the left side that include an advanced ground storey topped by a pedimented, giant fluted tetrastyle Ionic portico.
The upper floors predominantly have 12-pane and 6-over-9-pane timber sash and case windows, while the ground floor features 7-over-6-pane timber round-arched sash and case windows. The building is capped with tall, coped stacks.
