94 Pilrig Street, Edinburgh

This building, located at 94 Pilrig Street in Edinburgh, dates back to 1857 and is a two-storey, three-bay villa featuring Scottish 17th century architectural details. It is constructed from squared and snecked stugged ashlar with ashlar margins. The left side has a projecting crowstepped gable that includes an aproned and stepped raised flue, along with a wallhead stack. The windows on each floor are architraved, and the first-floor windows have gablets with arrow slits and sawtooth coping. There are quoins and a string course between the floors.

On the northeast (entrance) elevation, there is a stepped, semicircular bracketed pediment above a roll-moulded shoulder-arched doorway, which features a date panel below the pediment at the center. The doorway has a timber panelled door with a fanlight. To the right, there is a stone-mullioned bipartite window, and above, the fenestration is regular, with a window to the left of the flue on the first floor.

The southwest (garden) elevation showcases a three-bay canted piended projection to the right, with windows in each bay on both floors. The central entrance has a fanlight, with a window to the left and regular fenestration above. There is an oriel bartizan tower to the left on the first floor and a canted tripartite dormer above.

On the southeast (side) elevation, there is a lean-to projection to the left, featuring a round-arched window on the first floor. A large garage entrance is located to the left at ground level, with an entrance to the right leading to the northeast and a window to the southwest. There are additional windows to the right on both the ground and first floors, and a round-arched window at the center of the first floor. A stack breaks the eaves to the left above the lean-to.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The boundary walls are made of squared and snecked stugged ashlar and are coped, enclosing the site. The building features timber sash and case windows with predominantly 8-pane glazing, grey slates, crowstepped gables with gablet steps, wall- and gablehead stacks with terracotta cans, crowsteps, skews, and skewputts. Decorative cast-iron railings with a paterae frieze and fleur-de-lys finials enhance the property.
