6, 8, 10 India Street, Edinburgh

6, 8, 10 India Street is a four-storey and basement tenement building, designed by William and Lewis A Wallace between 1819 and 1823. It features a symmetrical seven-bay façade on a terraced site, constructed from broached sandstone ashlar. The principal floor showcases polished V-jointed rustication, while the basement has rock-faced rustication. There are cill courses at the first, second, and third floors, a band course at the principal and first floors, and a cornice with a blocking course at the third floor. The entrance includes ashlar steps and platts that overhang the basement.

On the east (principal) elevation, there is a centrally located flush-panelled common stair door at the principal floor, which is topped with a rectangular fanlight. This door is flanked by flush-panelled doors in recessed round-arched doorways, each with umbrella semicircular fanlights. The outer left and right bays contain windows, and the upper floors display regular fenestration, with a blind window at the third floor. The basement area is flagged and features coped rubble retaining walls, while the cellars have vertically boarded timber doors.

The building predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate M-roof, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Broached ashlar ridge stacks are present, along with a pair of rubble gablehead stacks that have broached ashlar dressings, topped with circular cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1997. The property also includes ashlar copes topped with cast-iron railings that have spear-headed balusters and urn finials. Additionally, there are cast-iron railing-mounted lamps with glass globes.
