Description

1-3 Argyle Park Terrace in Edinburgh is a four-storey tenement building designed in the Scots Baronial style by W Hamilton Beattie around 1874. The building features a seven-bay ground floor with six regularly spaced bays above. It is constructed of squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while the ground floor is painted. Notable architectural details include a base course, a broken corbel table above the second floor, and raised long and short quoins. The crowstepped gables, raised window surrounds, and chamfered reveals add to its character.

On the north elevation, the entrance features doorways at the second, fourth, and sixth bays, each with panelled doors and plate glass fanlights. The outer left bay includes bipartite windows on all floors, and the eaves cornice is topped with a French pavilion roof and an iron finial. The outer right bay has a three-storey canted window with dividing cornices, a lead canopy extending to the fourth-floor window, and an initialled panel in the gablehead. The remaining bays have single windows, with bays two and three featuring gables, and the fourth-floor windows breaking the eaves in pedimented dormerheads at bays four and five. A corbelled turret at the northwest angle has a bipartite window, a conical roof, and an iron finial.

The west elevation has a central bay with single windows on every floor and an M-gabled roof. The building predominantly features four-pane sash and case windows. The roof is covered with gray slate and has a corniced wallhead with mutual stacks, which are partially rendered, and moulded cans.

The interior was not seen in 1990. A low saddleback wall borders the street.
