Description

Alma House is a 2-storey and attic villa located at the Redford infantry barracks on Colinton Road in Edinburgh. Designed by Harry B Measures and built between 1909 and 1915, it features an irregular plan with three bays, a steep piended roof, and advanced gables. The building is constructed from dark, coursed rock-faced rubble with pale ashlar dressings, and the windows have projecting cills.

The main elevation, facing northeast, has advanced gables on the outer bays and tripartite windows on both floors. There is an off-centre porch with a bell-cast roof and a cat-slide roof behind it. Above the porch, there is a 6-light dormer and a 3-light dormer in the attic. The gables are adorned with slit windows. To the right, there is a single-storey extension.

On the garden elevation to the southwest, there is an advanced central gable and a box bay window on the ground floor. The roof is covered with grey graded slates, and there are wallhead and roof chimney stacks topped with red clay chimney cans. Most of the windows have been replaced with PVC casements featuring plate glass.
