Description

92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, and 104 Marchmont Crescent in Edinburgh is a four-storey, six-bay Scots Baronial tenement designed by William Hogg between 1885 and 1886. The building features shops on the ground floor and is located at the end of a curved terrace. It is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. The shopfronts have a cornice and blocking course, and the fourth-floor corbel table extends down in the central bays to create segmental-arched hoods over the first-floor windows, which have chamfered reveals.

On the west entrance elevation, there is a central doorway leading into the tenement, featuring a boarded door and a four-light fanlight. To the right, there are three shopfronts, each with a door to the left. To the left, there are two shopfronts (originally three), with the outer left having a door to the right and the inner left having an off-centre door. Above the shops, there are three-storey canted windows on the outer left and right, which are corbelled to square in crow-stepped gableheads adorned with paterae. The two central bays have bipartite windows on all floors, while the fourth-floor windows break the eaves in stone finialled gables, also featuring paterae details. There are single windows in the penultimate bays on each side, and the fourth-floor windows break the eaves in round-arched pedimented dormerheads.

The building has plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with two wallhead stacks (one corniced and one coped), coped and rendered mutual stacks, moulded octagonal cans, and beak skewputts. The interior was not seen in 1990.
