Description
59-61 Inverleith Place is a large, two-storey early Renaissance villa built in 1894 by Dunn and Findlay. The building features snecked rubble with polished dressings. The western entrance front has two gables and a central balustraded link that contains the entrance bay. This bay includes a well-crafted doorpiece with a moulded architrave set in diamond panelled Corinthian pilasters inspired by Francois Ier. Above the entrance, there is a three-light window with a sculptured apron panel. To the left, there are four-light windows on the ground floor and three-light windows on the first floor, while to the right, a two-storey four-light canted bay is present. All windows are mullioned and transomed, and there is a fluted frieze cornice and a relieving arch over the left-hand first-floor window, along with finialled gables.
The south elevation features a two-window canted ingleneuk to the left, a large central chimney breast, and a tall stack. There are central bipartite windows and a gable to the right with two-light windows that have mullion and transom crosses. On the east side, there is a recessed one-window office wing with a conservatory at right angles. The north elevation has a chimney breast to the right and central bipartites in the east gable, along with a door and window in the set-back offices. The first-floor door to number 59 is located in the east elevation. The roof is green slated with a red tile crest, and there are corniced rubble stacks. The property is enclosed by a stepped rubble-built wall with coping, two tall iron lamp brackets, and wooden gates.
