Description

101 and 103 Marchmont Road in Edinburgh is a four-storey, three-bay tenement building designed by John C Hay in 1882. It is part of a terrace that reflects the Scottish 17th century style. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. Notable features include a base course, a continuous band of relieving arches above the lintels at the ground floor, a dividing band course above, and a cornice above the second floor. The building has long and short window surrounds, chamfered reveals, panelled doors, and plate glass fanlights.

The west entrance elevation features four bays at the ground level. There are two doorways flanking a bipartite window at the ground floor, with the left doorway having floreate capitalled nookshafts. A full-height canted window is corbelled to a square at the Dutch gable, which has a broken pediment cradling a thistle finial. The central light is pedimented at the ground floor, and there are dividing bands and a circular patera in the gablehead. The outer left bay has bipartite windows, while the third-floor window breaks the eaves in a pedimented dormer head with an inset patera. The remaining bay has single windows, with the third-floor window also breaking the eaves in a crow-stepped dormer head. A central pedimented datestone inscribed "AD 1883" is located above the first floor.

The building features plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, three corniced, linked polygonal wallhead stacks, a corniced mutual gable stack, moulded octagonal cans, and scrolled skewputts. The street is bordered by a low saddleback wall. The interiors were not seen in 1990.
