Description
This former warehouse, located at 46 Shore in Leith, Edinburgh, dates back to 1912. It is a three-storey building with an attic and features a four-bay L-plan design that incorporates Queen Anne and Scottish Renaissance architectural details. The ground floor is made of channelled red sandstone ashlar, while the upper sections are finished with harled brickwork and ashlar dressings.
The northwest elevation, facing Shore, has a modern timber pub front to the left. To the right, there is a doorway flanked by smaller windows with recessed and battered aprons. The outer right corner is chamfered and corbelled. Above this area, three advanced gabled bays feature single windows on the first floor. The second floor windows are set in taller recessed panels, with quoin strips and small segmental-arched corniced and keystoned windows in the attic. The gablehead has a small rectangular window with a Gibbsian surround and a segmental-arched keystoned cornice. The left bay has single windows similar to those described and includes a catslide dormer.
The southwest elevation, facing Broad Wynd, has six bays with irregularly spaced openings and minimal ashlar dressings. There are cill band courses at the first and second floors, with small windows at the ground floor. The left bay is slightly recessed and features small windows that break the eaves in a crowstepped hoist head with a catslide roof. To the right, there are giant segmental-arched recesses with round-arched windows on the first floor, a semi-circular window on the third floor, and small rectangular windows.
The northeast elevation has a gabled jamb to the right with a broad apex stack and remnants of a party wall, along with two single windows that have modern window guards. To the left, there are vertically paired windows on the second floor, all fitted with modern window guards.
The building features multi- and small-pane timber casements and fixed pane windows. The roof is a modern red interlocking pantile, with an apex stack and a narrow stack on the northeast side, as well as large Velux rooflights. The ashlar skews and corbelled skewputts are present, along with a moulded eaves gutter.
The interior was not seen in 1993.
