Description
218-222 Bruntsfield Place is a four-storey, 15-bay tenement building designed by Dunn & Findlay around 1905. The front is made of cream sandstone with an ashlar finish, while the rear and sides are constructed from squared and snecked rubble. The building features a cill course on the first and second floors and an eaves cornice. The third-floor windows extend above the parapet into a mansard attic, showcasing ovolo moulded reveals. The windows are architraved, with the first-floor windows of Nos 212-216 having cornices, and those of Nos 218-226 featuring a Gibbsian surround. The dormerheads are semi-circular and pedimented, with ashlar mullions. The doorways are moulded, leading to panelled doors with rectangular plate glass fanlights.
On the southeast elevation facing Bruntsfield Place, Nos 212-216 is a six-bay tenement with a central doorway leading to a common stair, flanked by main door flats. The centre bays have single windows, while the bays to the left and right feature bipartite windows. The outer bays project and have bipartite windows, with the third-floor windows topped by half-pyramidal finialled roofs. Nos 218-222 also has six bays with a central common stair doorway and main door flats. The centre bays have single windows, and the third-floor windows have triangular dormerheads. The left and right bays feature bipartite windows, with full-height canted windows breaking the parapet and topped with half-pyramidal finialled roofs. Nos 224 and 226 consist of three bays, with a common stair doorway to the right and a main door flat to the left. The centre bay has single windows, while the left bay has a full-height canted bay with a half-pyramidal roof, and the right bay has bipartite windows.
The southeast elevation includes banded cill courses on the first and second floors, with single windows in the centre bay. There is a gabled bay with an apex stack to the right and a wallhead stack to the left.
