46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56 Bath Street, Edinburgh

46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56 Bath Street is a tenement block built in 1895 by Edward Calvert. This four-storey building with an attic features seven bays and shops on the ground floor. It is constructed from bull-faced red sandstone with polished red sandstone dressings, and has a squared and snecked side elevation and rear. A band course runs between the ground and first floors, and there are eaves courses along with curvilinear aprons above the fourth-floor windows. The third, fourth, and attic levels have canted windows.

The principal elevation faces southeast and includes shop fronts at ground level, which feature original panelled fluted friezes on the pilasters and dentilled cornices above each shop. The right side of the shop front has been significantly altered since 1971. Full-height canted windows are present in the outer bays (first and seventh) and in the fifth bay, with ashlar dormers that are corbelled to curvilinear and pedimented gableheads at the lintel level. The remaining bays have windows on each floor that are irregularly spaced. A carved name plaque is located at the first floor above the tenement door situated between the fourth and fifth bays.

The northwest rear elevation is mostly blank in the center and asymmetrical. The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows. The grey slate mansard roof is interrupted by canted ashlar dormers in the first, fifth, and seventh bays, while the second and sixth bays feature ashlar, segmental pedimented single-window dormers. There is a wallhead corniced stack with polished ashlar narrow strip quoins above the door to the tenements, which is located between the fourth and fifth bays. This is flanked by a crow-stepped half gable with a console bracket placed laterally at the apex, and an attic window aligned with the fourth bay. The flatter section of the roof, between the first and second, and fifth and sixth bays, has coped rendered stacks, while multi-flue wide wallhead stacks are present on the side elevations and a rendered wallhead coped stack is located at the rear.

The interiors were not seen in 1994.
