Description

73 and 75 Morningside Park in Edinburgh are a pair of two-storey houses built around 1877 by Pilkington & Bell. The terrace consists of ten houses arranged in five-bay pairs, constructed from cream sandstone. The ground floor features polished ashlar, while the first floor is made of stugged ashlar, and the rear and sides are finished with squared and snecked stugged rubble. Notable architectural details include an impost course at the ground floor that rises over the openings, a moulded string course above the ground floor, a cavetto eaves cornice, and tapering pilasters framing the first-floor windows. Carved acanthus leaves clasp the downpipes, and there are ashlar gutterheads and mullions.

On the northeast (front) elevation, each pair has a central bay with a single window on the ground floor and a bipartite window above on the first floor, framed by pilasters that rise from the string course. The bays to the left and right of the center feature corniced doorways with chip-carved consoles, a scrolled blank cartouche above the doorway, a two-leaf panelled door, and a rectangular plate glass fanlight. The outer bays have two-storey canted windows topped with half-pitched roofs.

The southwest (rear) elevation includes small single-storey projections, single windows, and various dormers, along with wallhead stacks. The northwest elevation is gabled with a broad apex stack and has single windows in the center bay.

The houses have timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing, a slate roof with lead flashings, and coped mutual and wallhead stacks at the rear. The moulded eaves gutters add to the architectural detail.

The interior was not seen in 1992. The rear features a tall rubble wall with semi-circular coping that delineates the mews lane, and a low stepped rubble wall at the front with flat ashlar coping and later gates.
