42, 43 Warrender Park Terrace, Edinburgh

42 and 43 Warrender Park Terrace is a five-storey corner tenement building designed by Edward Calvert in 1884, showcasing Scots Baronial architectural details. The structure is built from squared and snecked sandstone, featuring contrasting polished ashlar dressings. Notable elements include a base course, a dividing band course above the ground floor, a string course at the first floor, and a corbel table at the fourth floor that steps down to the third floor. The doorways are roll-moulded, with panelled doors and plate glass fanlights, while the reveals are chamfered and stop-chamfered.

On the north elevation facing Warrender Park Terrace, the building has four bays, with the fourth bay forming a chamfered corner. There are two doorways at the ground level, each flanked to the right by single windows. Above, there are single windows in the second bay and paired windows in the third bay. The second and third bays are linked above the eaves by a crowstepped gable, which features a gablehead stack. The third bay also has a crowstepped gable linked to a wallhead stack on the outer right. The advanced bay on the outer left has bipartite windows on each floor and a shaped dormerhead with a stone finial at the fourth floor. A ciphered heraldic panel marked "GN" is set at the second floor between the second and third bays, with a carved corbel above the chimneybreast. The advanced bay at the chamfered angle on the outer right also features bipartite windows on each floor, dividing cornices, and a bracketed cornice at the third and fourth floors, topped with a French roof and decorative cast-iron brattishing.

The west elevation facing Marchmont Street has five bays, excluding a doorway on the outer left with a datestone reading "1884" above at the second floor. The doorway is offset in the fourth bay, with single windows above. A crowstepped dormerhead is linked to a wallhead stack. There are single windows in the first, second, and third bays, with pedimented dormerheads in the second and third bays. The advanced bay on the outer right features bipartite windows and a shaped dormerhead with a stone finial, along with dividing cornices. The windows are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring a coped and rendered gablehead stack to the north, one double corniced wallhead stack to the north, and two to the west, with coped mutual stacks, scroll-bracketted skewputts, and moulded cans.

The property has low boundary coping with replacement railings along the street, and the steps leading up to No 43 retain the original cast-iron railings.
