Description
62, 64, 66 Marchmont Crescent is a four-storey tenement building designed by Edward Calvert in 1881, showcasing a nearly symmetrical five-bay Baronial style. It is part of a curved terrace and constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. The building features a base course, a string course at the first floor, a corbel table at the fourth floor, raised window surrounds, and stop-chamfered reveals.
The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a central roll-moulded doorway, with similar doorways to the inner left and right, each flanked by bipartite windows. The doors are panelled, and there are plate glass fanlights above. To the outer left, there is a full-height canted window that is corbelled to a square at the fourth floor, featuring a tripartite window with narrow lights on the returns, a crowstepped gable, a decorative carved inset, and a stone finial. The outer right has a similar canted window but with a pedimented gable. The central bay contains bipartite windows at the first floor and above, with a crowstepped gable at the fourth floor. The remaining bays have single windows, with a pedimented dormerhead at the fourth floor on the inner left and a crowstepped dormerhead on the inner right.
The windows are plate glass sash and case, with four panes in the main lights of the canted windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and features two corniced and coped wallhead stacks, moulded cans, and stylized skewputts.
The street is bordered by a low saddleback wall. The interiors were not seen in 1990.
