1 Sylvan Place, Edinburgh

2 Fingal Place in Edinburgh is a terrace of five villas built around 1825, featuring two stories and a basement, with three-story pavilion blocks at each end. The building is constructed from sandstone rubble, with a channelled ashlar ground floor and polished ashlar on the first floor. It has a base course, a dividing band course, and a continuous cornice above the first-floor windows, along with a blocking course for the two-story villas and window aprons, with some exceptions noted below.

The eastern pavilion block, facing Sylvan Place, has a four-bay elevation that includes a recessed corner bay. There are steps leading up to the doorway in the second bay, which features a panelled door and a six-light fanlight. Single windows are located above and in the outer left and right bays, while the remaining bay has blinded single windows.

The northern elevation facing Fingal Place has five bays, with steps leading up to a central doorway that also has a panelled door and a fanlight, along with single windows above and in the other bays.

The western pavilion block, facing Argyle Place, has a five-bay elevation with steps leading up to a central doorway, featuring a panelled door and irregular panes in the fanlight. There are single windows above and in the outer right bay, with blinded single windows in the remaining bays.

The northern elevation of this pavilion block has six bays, including two slightly recessed and bowed bays on the outer right. Steps lead up to the doorway in the third bay, with single windows above and in the other bays.

The terrace at 2-6 Fingal Place features slightly recessed doorways at bays three, four, nine, ten, and fifteen, with deep-set panelled doors and plate glass fanlights. There are single windows above the doorways and in the other bays, with aprons on all windows except for the first-floor bays one, two, three, seven, eight, and nine. The first-floor windows at bays one, two, and three have decorative cast-iron window guards.

The building predominantly has twelve-pane sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, corniced mutual stacks, and corniced and coped wallhead stacks on the pavilion blocks, along with various types of moulded can. The interiors were not seen in 1990. There are cast-iron railings along the street.
