Description
The Physician and Firkin Public House, located at 58 Dalkeith Road in Edinburgh, dates from around 1820 and has undergone later alterations. This is a two-storey, symmetrical, three-bay classical house with advanced outer bays, constructed from coursed, squared, cream rubble sandstone. It features a base course, cill course, and a cornice.
On the east elevation, there is a central tripartite doorway with a panelled door and a plate glass fanlight, flanked by Doric columns supporting a corniced doorpiece. Above the doorway, there is a single window, with additional windows in the outer left and right bays. The ground floor windows are set in round-arched panels. To the north, there is an additional single-storey wing added in 1969-70.
The building has four-pane timber sash and case windows, and a grey slate piended roof with a platform and cupola, along with twin coped stacks that do not have cans.
Inside, few original features remain. The property is surrounded by a low coped boundary wall that encloses the car park from the street.
