Army Reserves Centre excluding former hall at rear, 124 McDonald Road, Edinburgh

Designed by Thomas Duncan Rhind and constructed in 1911-12 with interior alterations by W G Brown & Co. in 1972-3, the building is a 3-storey, 3-bay rectangular plan, neo-Renaissance style drill hall administration block, on a corner site. In accordance with Section 1 (4A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 the following are excluded from the listing: the former hall located to the rear.

The McDonald Road (northeast) elevation is of cream polished ashlar with distinctive channelled quoins and Gibbsian windows with bold projecting keystone features. The central entrance bay is advanced and topped by a triangular pediment and there is an arched doorway with a heavy timber semi-circular canopy. The 3rd floor windows break the eaves and are corniced. The side (northwest) elevation is squared and snecked pink rubble sandstone. There is 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, a mansard roof with grey slates and a coped chimney stack to the end gable.

The interior which was seen in 2015 retains little of the 1911-12 scheme as the spaces were rearranged in the 1972-3 alterations. The 1911-12 double stair is still in place. The former caretaker's flat on the second floor has a cast iron chimneypiece and some late 19th century timberwork.
