1, 2 Gladstone Place, Leith, Edinburgh

1 and 2 Gladstone Place is a tenement building dated 1880, constructed for John Blackie. It stands four stories tall and features eight bays, arranged in a pattern of 1 - 5 - 2, with bays 2 to 5 forming a corner bow. The front façade is made of polished ashlar sandstone, with a channeled ground floor, while the rear is built from squared and snecked rubble. There is a base course and a band course between the ground and first floors, along with moulded and bracketed cill courses for the windows on the first, second, and third floors, topped by an eaves cornice and a blocking course. The first and second floor windows have architraved openings, with cornicing on the first floor and a pedimented consoled window at the third bay on the second floor.

The entrance door to the tenement is located in the outer left bay and features a panelled door with a rectangular plate glass fanlight and a consoled cornice doorpiece. There are doors to shops at bays 3, between bays 6 and 7, and at bay 8, each accompanied by modern shop windows. The upper floors are regularly fenestrated, with bipartite windows at the eighth bay.

The first, second, and third floor openings have plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the ground floor features modern glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design. There are rendered and corniced stacks, including an arch-linked pair over bay 3 and single stacks with scrolls at the base between bays 4 and 5, and between bays 5 and 6.

The interior was not seen in 1995. Additionally, there are cast-iron railings with spearhead finials at No 2 Gladstone Place.
