Broughton St Mary's Centre, 7 East Broughton Place, Edinburgh

This is a late 19th-century building, constructed in 1878 by Archibald MacPherson, comprising church offices and an adjoining hall. The offices are situated on a corner site in Edinburgh, facing East Broughton Place, with the hall extending behind them along Gayfield Street.

The East Broughton Place elevation is five bays wide and two storeys high, with an attic. It is built of polished ashlar with banded rustication to the ground floor. The Gayfield Street hall elevation is three bays wide and single storey. The rear elevations are of squared snecked rubble. The building features an advanced moulded chamfer, an eaves cornice, and a corniced parapet. Urns cap the parapet corners. The fenestration is regular, with hoodmoulded round-arched windows to the first floor and triangular pedimented dormers, flanked by small scrolls.

The main entrance, in the centre bay of the East Broughton Place elevation, is a timber-panelled door with a letterbox fanlight, framed by an architraved doorpiece topped by a consoled pediment. A dividing band separates the ground and first floors, with a cill course and impost course to the first floor. Three dormer windows are set into the roof, bipartite to the left and right.

The side elevation includes a single bay to the left, with a small bipartite window on the ground floor. The first-floor window is framed by corbelled moulded voussoirs, surmounted by raised spandrel panels with a horizontal drip-mould. A single dormer projects through the parapet. An inscribed date panel, with scrolled shoulders above supporting a segmental pediment, is positioned on the right-hand side of this elevation.

The hall's Gayfield Street elevation features a timber-panelled door with a letterbox fanlight to the left, above which is a window with an architrave that descends to meet the cill course, with a pilaster above the cill course. A pedimented Serlian window, breaking the eaves cornice and parapet, is centrally advanced, with flanking scrolls above the cornice. An architraved window occupies the right-hand side.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case, with four panes to each window, supplemented by a semicircular pane above the first-floor windows. Bipartite dormers have plate glass timber sash and case windows. The hall windows have multi-pane etched glazing with top hoppers. Dormers have stone fascias, lead haffits, and pitched slate roofs. Both the hall and offices have platform roofs covered with graded grey slates. Stone stacks with curved and scrolled shoulders are located on the north-west and south-west wallheads, while a stack on the hall roof has polished ashlar quoins. All stacks have circular cans.
