22, 24, 26, 28, 30 Marchmont Crescent is a four-storey Scots Baronial corner tenement block built in 1880 by R Thornton Shiells and Thomson. The building features a roofline display and shops on the ground floor, constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. The shopfronts are corniced, and there is a string course above the second floor, along with chamfered reveals.

On the north elevation facing Warrender Park Road, there are four bays above the shops, with a chamfered angle bay on the outer right. The outer left has a replacement shopfront, while the inner left retains an original shopfront with a glazed ingo. The remaining ground floor bays include three replacement windows for a public house, with an entrance at the chamfered angle. The outer left bay features bipartite windows, and the fourth-floor window breaks the eaves in a stone finialled and crowstepped dormerhead. The chamfered angle bay has bipartite windows at the first and second floors, and the third floor has an advanced tripartite window with machicolations below, breaking the eaves in a thistle finialled pedimented dormerhead. There is a blank tablet with a hoodmould set in the pediment. The remaining bays have single windows, with fourth-floor windows breaking the eaves in various finialled dormerheads, including pedimented, crowstepped, and a stylized design comprising three semi-circles from left to right.

The west elevation facing Marchmont Crescent has five bays above altered shopfronts, including the chamfered angle bay mentioned earlier on the outer left. There are two single windows at the first floor in the outer right bay, with a corbelled canted window above that features a cornice, faceted French roof, and a cast-iron finial. The inner left and right bays have bipartite windows, and the fourth-floor windows break the eaves in finialled crowstepped dormerheads. The remaining bays have single windows, with fourth-floor windows breaking the eaves in a pedimented dormerhead at the center and a stylized dormerhead on the outer left.

The building has plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with lead flashing, and features one machicolated and two corbelled wallhead stacks, along with some moulded octagonal cans.
