54 Hamilton Place, Edinburgh

54 Hamilton Place in Edinburgh is a former stable block built in 1908 by Thomas P Marwick. The building consists of a four-storey, eleven-bay stable block to the west, a three-storey, five-bay former joiners' shop to the south, and a flat-roofed, two-storey and basement store/workshop to the north, all arranged around a cobbled courtyard that has since been converted into flats. The structure is made of red brick and features regularly spaced windows with segmental-arched openings.

The stable block has two-leaf timber doors leading to van sheds on the ground floor. There is a concrete balcony on the first floor, which was previously covered, and remnants of a balcony on the second floor. The first and second floors also have two-leaf glazed doors with small-pane glazed fanlights.

Inside, the first and second floors are lined with white glazed bricks, and the original cobbled floors have been later covered with timber. The third floor has a metal-framed timber roof, and there is an open stair leading to the north.

The joiners' shop includes a later timber lean-to on the ground floor, with a door on the first floor. It features regularly spaced windows with wide small-pane glazing in segmental-arched surrounds.

The northern building has two storeys and a basement, with six bays facing the lane and two bays facing the courtyard. It has a metal-framed timber roof leading to a former van store at the basement level. The flat roof is railed and serves as a drying space for the flats in Hamilton Place, complete with cupolas.

The property is marked by two tall, coped red sandstone gatepiers at the entrance to the stable yard. The windows predominantly feature twelve-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, and the roof is covered with grey slates.
