Description
The Store Building at Redford infantry barracks on Colinton Road in Edinburgh is a single-storey, L-plan structure designed by Harry B Measures and constructed between 1909 and 1915. The building features a rendered exterior with pale ashlar dressings, a base course, and an eaves cornice. A verandah extends along the elevations facing the courtyard area to the south. The arrangement of windows and doors is irregular on the south and east elevations, while the west elevation has no openings. The doors are made of boarded timber. The roof is covered with grey slates and has raised skews, along with tapered, coped chimney stacks topped with short, red chimney cans.
Most of the glazing consists of small pane windows in timber frames, with some featuring top-opening hoppers and others being fixed windows.
The interior, as observed in 2016, is divided into storage spaces of varying sizes and includes a timber roof.
