Production Block, Madelvic Car Factory, 87 Granton Park Avenue, Granton, Edinburgh

This is a group of industrial buildings dating from 1899, originally part of the Madelvic Car Factory in Granton, Edinburgh.

The Administration Block is a two-storey building, originally symmetrical with three bays, but later extended to the west by one bay and to the east by three bays. It is constructed of red brick with red sandstone dressings, and has a grey slate roof. The ground floor is advanced with a balustraded parapet creating a balcony to the first floor. The principal south elevation features a pedimented and pilastered doorway, with a pediment incorporating a chain-driven wheel surmounted by a winged sphinx – a symbol of the Madelvic Motor Carriage Company. There is a panelled door and a single window above it on the first floor. Bipartite windows are in the flanking bays; the first-floor window to the right has lost its stone mullion. Pediments are present above the first-floor windows. A two-storey, flat-roofed extension in a similar style is to the right, and a higher two-bay extension is to the outer right, also with bipartite windows; the first-floor mullion to the left of this extension is missing. A single-bay addition with a chamfered angle, recessed to the outer left, contains a single window. A later bridge link at first floor level is not included in the listing. The east elevation has a later gabled porch to the right of centre, and two bays to the left and a single bay to the right, each with single windows. The north (rear) elevation has irregular window placement.

The Production Block, located immediately west of the administration block, consists of two two-storey ranges linked by a central single-storey range, forming a rectangular plan. It is built of engineering brick with red sandstone dressings, featuring segmental-headed windows with 16-pane glazing, including top hoppers, and flat roofs to the two-storey ranges, and a pitched roof with glazing panels over the single-storey range. The south (entrance) elevation, originally twelve bays wide, has a later first-floor bridge over a roadway, obscuring the first floor over nine bays to the right. A central round-arched doorway is inscribed with "WORKS ENTRANCE" in the tympanum, flanked by broad doorways that enter the single-storey range. A central doorway and flanking pairs of windows are prominent in the two-storey range to the right, while a doorway with two windows leads to the two-storey range to the left, with two windows and a doorway at the first floor above. The east elevation, originally 27 bays wide, is obscured in parts by later additions. The west and north elevations are similarly obscured by later brick additions that are excluded from the listing. The interior features steel beams and columns, stamped by Lanarkshire Steel Co Ltd, along with timber upper floors to the two-storey ranges. Staircases are positioned symmetrically on either side of the single-storey range.

The Generating Block, dating from 1899, is a single-storey building, 12 bays by 4 bays, and constructed in a similar style to the production block. Additions and a link to the office are not included in the listing.
