104 Polwarth Terrace, Edinburgh

104 Polwarth Terrace in Edinburgh is a pair of semi-detached houses built in 1901, likely by Edward Calvert. These two-storey, four-bay homes have a rectangular plan and feature rear projections. The exterior is made of yellow squared and coursed rubble with red ashlar dressings and raised quoins.

The front elevations are symmetrical, with red ashlar bays at the center. Each house has a two-leaf panelled door flanked by narrow sidelights and topped with a rectangular plate glass fanlight. Above the doors are ashlar mullioned bipartite windows. The outer bays are slightly advanced and feature shaped Dutch gables with water-spout finials. The outer bays also include two-storey red sandstone canted windows arranged in a 1-2-1 pattern, with scalloped parapets and carved aprons, along with smaller windows above.

On the rear elevations, there is one window per bay on both the ground and first floors. A square mansard-roofed projection is a modern addition to No 108.

The southwest elevations have windows on each floor at the center, with a wallhead stack that is linked to the roof and has a scrolled base. To the left, there is a single window on the first floor, and to the right, a box dormer with timber bipartite windows, corniced and with carved aprons.

The northeast elevations mirror the southwest elevations.

The houses feature timber sash and case windows, with plate glass glazing at the front and four-pane windows at the rear and sides. The roof is covered with Scottish slate and includes two wallhead stacks, as well as one party wall stack at the rear, flanked by plain box dormers with timber mullioned bipartite windows.

The interior was not seen in 1992. A low rubble boundary wall and fence are present at the front, with cast-iron gates remaining at No 104 and partly at No 106.
