Description

This building, located at 2, 3, 4, 6 East Norton Place and 51-53 Montrose Terrace in Edinburgh, dates from around 1820. It is a flat-iron tenement block that stands four storeys tall with ten bays facing East Norton Place and three storeys with twelve bays along Montrose Terrace. The corner bay is bowed and features a balustrade. The exterior is finished in coursed ashlar, with an eaves cornice and a parapet. The building has a regular arrangement of windows and a two-leaf timber panelled door with a border glazed fanlight at No 61, located at the corner.

On the northeast elevation facing East Norton Place, there are band courses between the floors and a triangular pediment above the three bays to the left. A timber-panelled door is set in a corniced and pilastered doorpiece at the fourth bay from the left, while timber panelled doors are found in the second and fifth bays from the right. There is also a later two-leaf glazed door with narrow flanking windows at No 3.

The southeast elevation facing Montrose Terrace features a base course, a string course at the ground floor, and cill courses at the first and second floors. The ground floor windows have projecting cills. Timber-panelled doors with border glazed fanlights are located in the third bay from the left and the fifth bay from the right, along with another timber panelled door with a border glazed fanlight in the fifth bay from the left.

The building predominantly has twelve-pane sash and case windows, with many blind windows, especially towards Montrose Terrace. The roof is piended, covered with grey slates, and features corniced stacks with circular cans.
