Description
58, 60, and 62 Bath Street in Edinburgh is a tenement building dating from 1877, with later alterations. It stands three stories high with an attic, located at the corner of Bath Street and the Promenade. The building features a French urban style and has seven bays, including a canted corner bay. The exterior is constructed of stugged ashlar with polished dressings, while the ground floor is rendered and painted. The side and rear elevations are made of squared and snecked sandstone.
Architectural details include a base course and a band course above the ground floor, which acts as a cornice for the canted windows. Each bay has timber wallhead dormers, which are canted and topped with finialled ogee-roofed cupolas. Round-arched windows are present in all dormers, with a cill course at the first and second floors. The cornice and parapet have stop-chamfered arrises, and there are roll-moulded features at the ground level, as well as segmental arches. The first-floor windows are adorned with a curved frieze and cornice.
On the southeast elevation facing Bath Street, the design is symmetrical, featuring full-height canted four-light windows at the center and in the outer and corner bays. There are single windows on each floor in the bays flanking the center, with tripartite doorways in the penultimate bays and bipartites above. One doorway to the left has been altered. There is a door to the side of the center canted window, which serves as the entrance to the Public Bar of Beachcombers, and another door located in the second bay to the left of center, along with a door with narrow windows flanking the second bay to the right of center.
The northeast elevation, which faces the Promenade, mirrors the Bath Street elevation, featuring a canted window at the center that rises above ground level on a corniced buttressing pillar with a carved date stone. There are bipartite windows in the second and sixth bays at both the first and second floors, as well as at ground level in the second bay. A door is located in the third bay, with a window and door flanking the buttress at the center. Modern shop fronts have been added to the ground level in the bays to the right of center.
The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows and a grey slate mansard roof. The timber wallhead dormers are present in each bay, except for the canted windows, which have ogee-roofed cupolas. All dormers feature round-arched windows. There are ashlar coping wallhead stacks on the southeast elevation, located between the second and third bays and the fifth and sixth bays, as well as mutual stacks on the northeast elevation between the first and second bays and the fourth and fifth bays.
The interiors were not seen in 1994.
