Description

16 and 18 Spottiswoode Street in Edinburgh is a four-storey corner tenement building designed by Thomas P Marwick in 1883, featuring Baronial details. The building is situated on a sloping site and has shops on the ground floor. It is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings.

The elevation facing Warrrender Park Road includes plate glass fronts for three shops at the ground level, a pedimented doorway at the angle, and a roll-moulded tenement doorway with a deep-set panelled door and a plate glass fanlight. There is a full-height, four-light canted window at the corner, corbelled to a square at the gablehead, along with a pedimented blind slit window set in the gablehead. The first floor features an advanced bipartite window with a stone canopy in the outer right bay, with bipartite windows above it. The third floor has a crowstepped dormerhead above one window. Other advanced single windows with stone canopies are found in the remaining bays, with single windows above them. The bays are linked above the eaves by a gable, and there is a pedimented cipher tablet at the first floor between the angle and the first bays, along with a wallhead stack that has three polygonal flues.

The elevation on Spottiswoode Street has one recessed bay and five advanced bays, excluding the angle bay on the outer right. It features a roll-moulded tenement doorway in the third bay with a deep-set panelled door, and three shopfronts that have been combined into two at the ground level to the right. The first bay has bipartite windows, while the third floor has a single window with a semi-circular pediment. The second bay has a chamfered angle with two lights on each floor. Bipartite windows are present above the ground in the third bay, and single windows are found in the remaining bays. The second and fourth bays have semi-circular pediments that are linked above the eaves by a gable. The building features plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, corniced gable and wallhead stacks, coped and rendered mutual stacks, gabletted crowsteps, and scroll skewputts. The interiors were not seen in 1991.
