Description
56, 58, 60 Warrender Park Road is a four-storey tenement building designed by Thomas P Marwick in 1888, featuring baronial detailing and shops at ground level. The structure is made of squared and snecked sandstone with contrasting red polished ashlar dressings. Notable architectural elements include a cornice above the shops, a cill course at the second floor, a cornice and string course above the second floor, and chamfered reveals.
The elevation facing Marchmont Road is five bays wide, including a corner bay. It has four altered shopfronts at the ground floor, a panelled main door, and a margin-paned fanlight. A full-height canted window projects over the ground floor in the outer left bay, while the gablehead features a square corbel. The second and third bays contain bipartite windows, and there are pedimented dormerheads above the third-floor windows. The fourth bay has single windows and a semi-circular dormerhead above the third-floor window. The corner bay is canted across the angle, with an open pediment above the central light of the first-floor window, a cornice above the third floor, a facetted pyramidal roof, and a lead finial.
The elevation on Warrender Park Road consists of three bays, excluding the corner bay. It features well-preserved early shopfronts at the ground level, with fan glazing, an inset glazed door adorned with Art Nouveau door furniture, and a decorative wrought iron gate for No 60. The first and second bays have single windows, with the first bay gabled and a semi-circular dormerhead above the third-floor window in the second bay. A full-height canted window projects over the ground floor in the outer right bay, also corbelled to square at the gablehead. The windows are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are coped and rendered mutual and wallhead stacks, along with some original rainwater goods, including hoppers.
The interiors were not seen in 1991.
