Description
6, 7, 8 Trinity Crescent in Edinburgh is a three-storey, seven-bay tenement block attributed to Thomas Brown, built around 1824. The building is constructed from cream sandstone ashlar and features a channelled ground floor, a base course, a dividing band between the ground and first floors, and an eaves cornice.
The north elevation facing Trinity Crescent is regularly fenestrated. There are doors located in the second, fourth, and sixth bays from the left. The leftmost door is a glazed timber door with a border-glazed fanlight. The central door is a timber panelled door with a border-glazed fanlight set in a Doric porch, while the rightmost door is also a timber panelled door with a border-glazed fanlight.
The windows have 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The chimney stacks, which have been rebuilt, are coped and feature circular cans.
In front of the building, there is a low coped coursed rubble boundary wall, complemented by modern wrought-iron railings and gates.
