108 Morningside Road, Morningside, Edinburgh

Bank House, located at 112 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, is a group of houses dating to approximately 1790, with alterations, extensions, and subdivision occurring around 1850. The building is an L-shaped composition of two storeys, constructed from pink and variegated sandstone rubble, with dressings in droved and polished ashlar. Chamfered reveals are a feature, and the first-floor windows are set beneath gabled dormerheads, just breaking the eaves. Crowstepped gables and dormerheads are finished with ashlar coping.

The east-facing (Morningside Road) elevation has eight bays, divided into three sections. Number 108 features an advanced gabled bay to the right, with a shallow, two-storey canted window topped with ball finials, and a single window above the door. The central bay has a roll-moulded doorway with a consoled cornice, a panelled door, and a rectangular fanlight with patterned glazing. A single window sits above the door at first floor. The left bay has a single ground floor window. Number 110 mirrors the design, with a similar entrance and windows. Number 112 includes a blank gabled bay to the left, featuring an arrowslit, an apex stack, and blocked door and window openings. The right bay has single windows on both ground and first floors.

The south elevation is harled and five bays wide. It includes a single-storey side wing to the left, and a slightly advanced gabled bay at the centre with a two-storey canted window, topped with a parapet. A gabled bay to the left of centre features stepped windows on both ground and first floors, while the bay to the right has a secondary entrance and a first-floor window. The outer bays have single windows on both floors. A curved, timber conservatory with a finial extends from the right bays.

On the north-facing (Albert Terrace) elevation, a small, rectangular entrance porch is centrally located, with a single window above it, a roll-moulded doorway on the return to the left, and a raised gable with an apex stack above the porch. The west-facing (rear) elevation reveals a courtyard, defined by an advanced gabled bay on the outer left with a small, triangular-headed window in the gablehead. The jamb of the L-plan has a side wing to the outer right, a gabled addition in the re-entrant angle, and a single-storey lean-to projection to the main wing.

The windows are mostly timber sash and case, with eight panes. Plate glass glazing is used on the south elevation, while the east elevation has some four-pane windows with plate glass. The roof is slate, with metal flashings, four corniced apex stacks, mutual corniced stacks, and octagonal cans. Corbelled skewputts are present. The interior was not inspected in 1992.

Tall pink rubble boundary walls with flat coping enclose the property, rising to 12 feet on sloping ground to the east. To the east, a lower wall features coped ashlar gatepiers on battered and channelled bases, with decorative, original 19th-century cast-iron railings flanking a stair leading from street level. To the north, octagonal coped gatepiers and chamfered doorways are set within the boundary wall.
