Former Sergeant's Mess, Redford infantry barracks, Colinton Road, Edinburgh

A single-storey, 6-bay, asymmetrical-plan former sergeants' mess with piended roofed section to the south and flat-roofed section to north designed by Harry B Measures and built between 1909 and 1915. The building is of dark, coursed rock-faced rubble with pale ashlar dressings. There is a cill course, a band course and an eaves course and the flat-roofed section has a blocking course. The windows have projecting cills.

The principal elevation is to the southwest and has a recessed piended section to the right with an advanced, central tripartite bay with a scrolled and finialled pediment. There are paired windows to either side. The northwest elevation has an advanced porch with a 2-leaf timber door with a small-pane glazed fanlight above.

The windows are predominantly timber casement windows with 6-pane glazing to the upper lights and 4-pane glazing to the lower lights. There are grey graded slates to the piended roof.

The interior was seen in 2016. There is a central corridor with offices to either side. There are some part glazed fanlights above the doors.
