Description

The Church Hall of St Mary Star of the Sea, located at 106 Constitution Street in Leith, Edinburgh, was built in 1903. This three-storey, flat-roofed building has a rectangular plan and features a roof playground at the rear. It is constructed from reddish-yellow brick with cream sandstone dressings. The long elevations are divided into bays by slender off-set buttresses that rise to gablet-capped dies, which serve as piers for the rooftop railings.

On the southeast elevation, there are eight bays, each with a large corniced window on every floor. The three bays on the left previously connected to another full-height building, which is now rendered and blank, featuring a lower two-storey lean-to extension accessed via a forestair.

The southwest elevation has five bays, with two advanced bays on the right that include secondary doorways at ground level with exposed iron lintels. There are single windows on the first and second floors, with the second-floor windows featuring herringbone brickwork aprons, blank concrete shields, and segmental-arched stylised hoodmoulds with finials above. The central and left bays mirror this design. To the outer left, there is a narrow four-stage stair bay with small paired two-tier windows separated by panels of herringbone brickwork, culminating in a cap-house. A smaller lean-to addition is located to the outer left, featuring a single window and a secondary door.

The northwest elevation mirrors the southeast elevation, except for a projecting four-storey blank bay on the outer right, which has small windows on the return and a smaller lean-to addition at ground level. To the outer right bay, there is a lower two-storey flat-roofed addition with narrow windows on the first and second floors on the return northeast.

The northeast elevation consists of three bays, with a blank centre bay that has a broad wallhead stack and single corniced windows in the outer bays. The building features large 12-pane timber casement cross windows, one wallhead stack, and plain cast-iron railings along the roof parapet. The interior was not seen in 1993.
