3 Gladstone Place, Leith, Edinburgh

3 Gladstone Place in Leith, Edinburgh, is a tenement building dated 1880, constructed for John Blackie. It is a symmetrical, four-storey, three-bay structure featuring polished ashlar sandstone on the front, with a channelled design at the ground floor and squared, snecked rubble at the rear. The building includes a base course, a band course between the ground and first floors, and moulded, bracketed cill courses on the first, second, and third floors, along with an eaves cornice and a blocking course. The ends of the building have channelled pilasters that support a bracketed cornice and panelled pedestals. The first and second floors have architraved openings, with cornicing on the first floor and a pedimented, consoled window at the centre bay of the second floor.

The principal elevation features a panelled entrance door with a rectangular plate glass fanlight above it, along with a consoled cornice doorpiece. The building is regularly fenestrated, with bipartite windows in the outer bays. The south elevation was not visible in 1995. The upper floors have plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the ground floor windows have modern glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design, with corniced ashlar multi-flue wallhead stacks.

The boundary wall consists of an ashlar dwarf wall topped with modern railings.
