55, 57, 59, 61 Jeffrey Street, Edinburgh

55, 57, 59, 61 Jeffrey Street is a five-storey, five-bay Scots Baronial tenement designed by Robert Hamilton Paterson in 1889. The building features shouldered openings on the ground floor, with a pend to the outer left. There are modern glazed doors leading to a bipartite entrance, which has a shared fanlight in the center. The first floor has segmental-arched windows, while a stepped string course is present on the second floor and a corbel course on the fourth. The crow-stepped gable, which is corbelled out from the third floor, has an apex stack at the center and flanking triangular-pedimented wallhead dormers. An engaged turret with a conical, hexagonally-roofed design and oriels rises from the first floor at the outer right.

The ground and first floors are finished in ashlar, while the upper levels are made of stugged squared and snecked sandstone with polished margins. The rear of the building is constructed of rubble. The first floor retains original timber casements, and the upper floors predominantly feature original timber sash and case windows with two-pane glazing over plate glass. The roof is pitched with grey slate, including a flat section at the rear that has a railing and access from a dormer behind the wallhead stack. There are coped stacks at the west, a coped wallhead stack at the south, and a truncated gablehead stack at the north, which has lost its cans. Clay cans and cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.
