Description

16 West Holmes Gardens in Musselburgh is a terrace building dating from around 1900, designed by William Constable. It is a single-storey and attic structure, with the outer bays rising to two storeys and featuring full-height canted windows. The building is constructed of red ashlar, with brick used for the return and rear walls. The entrance features pairs of two-leaf panelled doors, except for No 20, which has a bipartite arrangement for No 18. The dormer windows under the gables are either one or two lights, and all windows have plate-glass lower sashes, originally with multi-pane upper sections. Each gable showcases timber king-post details, and the two-storey gabled bays are adorned with pierced barge-boards. The roofs are slate, sweeping over the single-storey section and finished with red ridge tiles.
