Description
16 Queen's Crescent in Edinburgh is an Italianate house built around 1870. It has one and two storeys with an attic and features three bays in an asymmetrical design. The house includes a central square-plan entrance tower, a single-storey wing on the outer left, and an advanced two-storey gabled wing to the east. The exterior is made of cream sandstone coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and it has a base course, bracketed cills, and deeply overhanging dentilled and bracketed eaves.
On the south elevation, the tower has a central round-arched doorway with a panelled door and a plate glass fanlight, along with a plain keystone and springers to the architrave. Above the doorway, there is a single round-arched window on the first floor and a bipartite round-arched window in the attic, topped with a cast iron finial on the roof. The single-storey wing to the west features a central tripartite round-arched window, while the two-storey wing to the east has a three-light canted window at ground level and a single window on the first floor above.
The windows are plate glass timber sash and case, and the roofs are covered with grey slate, featuring tall coped wallhead stacks and moulded cans.
The boundary walls are low with coping along the street, accompanied by replacement railings. The interior was not seen in 1996.
