Harrow Hotel, 2-4 Eskbank Road, Dalkeith

The Harrow Hotel, located at 2-4 Eskbank Road in Dalkeith, is an early 20th-century building that was remodeled from an earlier two-storey and attic structure, with a 19th-century wing at the rear. It is a three-storey hotel with a second floor that breaks the eaves, featuring a three-bay façade. The exterior is harled with ashlar dressings, a base course, painted margins, and moulded courses between the floors, topped with overhanging eaves.

On the east elevation facing Eskbank Road, the building has chamfered angles that are broadest at the ground and corbelled at each floor. The central bay displays a mock-timber-framed gable. There is a segmental-arched door in the left bay and another on the chamfered angle to the right, both with two-leaf doors. A four-light window is recessed at the ground level in the center, with a corniced five-light oriel window above it at the first floor, which is surmounted by a balcony and a three-light window at the second floor. The outer bays at the first and second floors have regularly disposed fenestration, with semicircular dormerheads at the second floor.

The north elevation, facing Old Edinburgh Road, features a four-light window at the ground level, a window at the first floor, and a semicircular dormer-headed window at the second floor. There is a tapered wallhead stack to the left. To the right is the earlier 19th-century, lower asymmetric four-bay block, which includes a door between the two right bays, windows in the center and right bays at ground level, and a window in each bay at the first floor, along with three bipartite dormer windows.

On the south elevation, there is a bipartite window to the right at ground level and a window to the left between the ground and first floors. A tapered wallhead stack is located at the center. The lower asymmetric four-bay block to the left has a door in the bay to the right of center, with regularly disposed fenestration and a window between the two right bays, plus a dormer window to the right.

The west elevation is blank and recessed to the right, with several walls adjoining at ground level. The building features a variety of glazing patterns, primarily sash and case windows with two-pane lower sashes and six-pane upper sashes. There are two wallhead stacks on the west side, and the roof is covered with grey-green slates and red ridge tiles, along with original rainwater goods.
