If so, No 58 would refer to the entrance to a set of flats in a tenement property. See www.espc.co.uk and do an address search for Marchmont Crescent. There are two flats for sale at No 43, and one at No 70. That will give you an idea of the type of property that No 58 used to be, although it's always possible that the block containing No 58 had now been redeveloped and replaced my modern flats.
