Working Men's Home, 70, 72, 74, 76 Grove Street, Edinburgh

The Working Men's Home, located at 70, 72, 74, and 76 Grove Street in Edinburgh, was designed by Frederick T. Pilkington in 1864. This four-storey, six-bay tenement is built in an L-plan and features hammer-dressed squared and snecked sandstone with an ashlar doorpiece. Notable architectural elements include a string course between the ground and first floors, a projecting cill course at the second floor, an eaves course, a raised wallhead at the center, and a coped pediment.

On the northeast elevation facing Grove Street, there are two entrance doorways at the center. The doorway to the left has fluted brackets and a cornice, while the one to the right features a corniced lintel and fanlight, both with two-leaf timber doors. The ground floor has voussoired round-arched single windows in the two bays to the right, with recessed infill to the tympana, and square single windows in the two bays to the left of the entrance, along with a timber door on the outer left. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, with decorated shouldered hoods above the recessed infilled window heads. Flanking attached columns with cushion capitals and decorative blind shouldered openings are present between alternate bays at the second floor. The third floor has single windows, including an ogival window in the third bay from the left.

The building has replacement glazing and ornamental ironwork window boxes on the first floor. It features coped mutual stacks with circular cans and cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1997.
