Description

62 Main Street in Newhaven, Edinburgh, is an early 19th-century tenement that was recast and converted by Ian Lindsay & Partners around 1970. This three-storey, four-bay building forms the western end of Main Street and Pier Place. It features a semi-elliptical, three-window bow end with an apex stack to the west and a blind window at the center. The building has a continuous stugged base course and a raised, painted string course. The ground floor is constructed of stugged grey sandstone, while the upper floors are finished with harling and limewash. The openings have raised and painted surrounds, and the Pier Place side is also harled and limewashed.

The south (entrance) facade has four bays facing Main Street. There is a timber boarded door for entry in the bay to the right of center, with a three-light fanlight above it. The remaining bays contain single windows. The first and second floors have single windows in the center, right, and left bays, with a blank bay on the outer left.

The west (bow) elevation has three single windows on the ground floor, with aligned single windows above in the outer left and right bays. There is a blind window on the second floor in the central bay.

The north (rear) elevation is three-storey and three-bay, with regular fenestration on all floors. All openings feature 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there is a harled wallhead stack to the east, along with a harled, stepped, and coped gablehead stack to the west, which has precast concrete copes and circular cans.
