56, 58, 60 Marchmont Crescent, Edinburgh

56, 58, 60 Marchmont Crescent is a four-storey, four-bay tenement built in 1881 by Edward Calvert, designed in a near-symmetrical Baronial style as part of a curved terrace. The building is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone, featuring polished ashlar dressings. Architectural details include a base course, a string course at the first floor, a dividing band above the second floor, raised window surrounds, and stop-chamfered reveals.

The west entrance elevation has two paired roll-moulded doorways on the inner right, a roll-moulded doorway, and a single window on the inner left, all with panelled doors and plate glass fanlights. There is a full-height canted window in the outer left bay, which is corbelled to a square at the crowstepped gablehead, topped with a stone finial. This gablehead features a circular "JC" monogram panel. A matching full-height canted window is located in the outer right bay, also corbelled to a square at the gablehead, which has a monogram panel inscribed "EC 1881". The remaining bays contain single windows. The central crowstepped gable has a heavily corniced gablehead stack.

The building features plate glass sash and case windows, with four panes in the main lights of the canted windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes a corniced mutual stack, moulded cans, and stylised skewputts.

The interiors were not seen in 1990. There is a low saddleback wall along the street, and original cast-iron pedestrian gatepiers are present at No 56.
