Designed for George Neill, builder.
The period between 1860 and 1900 saw significant residential expansion in the city of Edinburgh with construction of a number of residential tenement suburbs.
The tenement suburb of Marchmont developed between circa 1876 and 1914
following the feuing of the Warrender family estate (land south of the Meadows).
Marchmont's development can be viewed in two distinct phases, with the first phase, prior to 1900, largely following the plan laid out by David Bryce of 1869. This phase, which saw the construction of streets in the north and east of the site, is characterised by the individual nature of the work by builders and architects who frequently developed only one or two feus at a time. These tenements were built predominantly in the baronial style following guidelines set down in the 1869 feu charter. In the second phase, after 1900, the baronial style recedes and elevations become more uniform.
Edward Calvert (1847-1914) was a Middlesex born architect, who designed exclusively domestic architecture. He is known only as having practised in Edinburgh where his work included large villas in Merchiston. He designed a number of tenements in Marchmont between 1878 and 1890.
