Description
23, 25, and 27 Warrender Park Road in Edinburgh is a four-storey, seven-bay corner tenement block built around 1880, featuring a corner tower and elements of Baronial architecture. The building is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone, accented with polished ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include a base course, a cornice and corbel table above the second floor, and an eaves string course. The entrances have panelled doors and plate glass fanlights, while the third-floor windows break the eaves and have chamfered reveals.
On the south elevation facing Warrender Park Road, the seven bays include the corner tower. The roll-moulded doorways are flanked by single windows in the second and fourth bays, with additional single windows above. The second bay features a semi-circular dormerhead, while the fourth bay has a pedimented dormerhead. In the fifth bay, there is a doorway with chamfered arrises and a single window above, along with another semi-circular dormerhead. The four-stage circular-section tower, which breaks the eaves, has three lights in each stage on the outer right side and is topped with a pilastered and semi-circular pedimented dormer set in a fishscale conical roof, complete with a cornice bracketed beneath the dormer and an iron weathervane finial. The third bay features a full-height canted window, which is corbelled to a square at the crowstepped gablehead, while the first bay has a full-height gabled tripartite window. The sixth bay contains single windows and a pedimented dormerhead.
On the east elevation facing Marchmont Crescent, the corner tower is located on the outer left, with a circular-section and fishscale conical roof on the outer right. The building has plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, and a corniced wallhead stack to the south, along with a truncated and coped wallhead stack to the west. There are two round-arched dormers with timber gables to the south and stone finials on the dormerheads, as well as scroll-bracketted skewputts.
The interiors have not been seen since 1991. A low saddleback wall lines the streets.
