Description
22 Forth Street in Edinburgh is a terraced tenement building designed by Robert Burn in 1800. It is three stories high with a mansard attic and a basement, constructed from droved sandstone ashlar. The building features a base course, a band course between the floors, a blocking course, and projecting cills. Above No 22, there is a blind ashlar balustrade with panelled tablets on the mansard roof. The entrance has pilastered and pedimented doorpieces with decorative capitals and a rosette motif, and the entrance platts extend over the basement.
On the principal (south) elevation, there are broad tripartite doorpieces with timber panelled doors and segmental-arched fanlights in the first and fourth bays. The remaining bays have windows, and there is regular fenestration above, featuring three dormer windows in the mansard roof, including a piended and canted tripartite dormer and a roof light for No 22.
The building has timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing, grey slate roofing, stone skews, and a gablehead stack with terracotta cans. Decorative cast-iron railings are also present. The interior was not seen in 1998.
