Description

80, 82, 84, 86, 88, and 90 Leith Walk is a later 19th-century tenement building that stands four stories tall and features five bays. The ground floor includes shops, with a full-height cast-iron-framed and glazed facade on three bays to the left. The structure is primarily constructed with coursed and squared cream sandstone on the front and side elevations, while the rear is made of brick and some rubble. Steel beams are encased in timber behind the glazed shopfront. A continuous cornice runs above the ground floor, supported by scrolled consoles, and there is an eaves cornice. The tenement features stop-chamfered reveals and ashlar mullions, while the glazed facade has windows divided by slender timber mullions and transoms set in basket-arched lights.

On the front elevation, the entrances for Nos 88 and 90 include a recessed doorway in the center, flanked by display windows with a central mullion. The floors above have moulded cill courses at the second and third floors, with broad bipartite windows in the center bay and tripartite windows in the outer bays. For Nos 80-86, the ground floor features basket-arched openings, with a common stair doorway in the center topped by a plate glass fanlight, a replacement shopfront to the right, and a display window to the left. All floors above these bays have bipartite windows, and awning fittings are present on all shop windows.

The rear elevation shows that Nos 80-86 are part rubble and part brick-built, featuring a semi-circular stairtower with a hoist and hoist opening on the flank. Nos 88-90 are recessed and brick-built, with bipartite windows and a large two-storey rendered extension topped with a piend roof.

The northeast elevation is three bays wide, gabled with a broad apex stack, and features single windows. It has a rounded corner above the ground floor, with decorative corniced and panelled skewstacks.

The building has timber sash and case windows, with plate glass glazing on the front and four-pane windows at the rear. The slate roof includes a metal ridge, apex, and skew stacks, as well as six small cast-iron skylights on the front. The interior was not seen in 1993.
