221 Portobello High Street, Portobello, Edinburgh

221 Portobello High Street is a Gothic church built in 1878 by Stewart and Menzies, which has since been converted into flats. The building features bull-faced sandstone with polished ashlar dressings on the northeast elevation and droved ashlar dressings on the northwest elevation. It has a base course and roll-moulded hoodmoulds above pointed windows.

The northeast elevation facing Portobello High Street has five bays with cusp tracery in the windows. The central door is set within a three-bay pointed arch arcade, supported by columns, and features a gablet panel with patera and finials. Flanking bays have tracery windows. A roll-moulded string course runs between the ground and first floors. There are two windows at the first floor between the bays, and a round multi-foil window above the center. A slender octagonal tower is positioned between the central three bays and the outer left bay, featuring a moulded string course that defines each floor. It has pointed-arch small niches on the first and second floors, rising above the gablet coping, and is topped with a blocking course and a small spire with a trefoil finial. The ground and first floor windows are blinded, and there is a stepped string course between these levels. A two-storey buttress is located on the outer left, while a square-plan tower on the outer right is slightly advanced and buttressed at the angles. This tower has a single window at the ground level, two small windows on the first floor, and a bipartite window on the second floor, with a cornice and a central opening within a gabled surround featuring patera and pinnacles. The tall stone spire is adorned with a band of fish-scale design and has a weather vane as a finial.

The northwest elevation, facing Windsor Place, has two bays. The tower on the outer left mirrors the one on the northeast elevation and includes a second entrance to the church on its southwest side. The right bay features buttresses at the outer angles and a large tracery window high within the gable wall, with a stepped string course beneath and a round multi-foil window above.

Some tracery windows still retain their leaded lights. The roof is slate with lucarnes on the southwest side.

The boundary wall is made of ashlar.
