Description
No. 10 Kennedy Street is an insurance office built in 1905 for the West of Scotland Fire Insurance. The building features a mix of late 19th-century and early 20th-century architectural styles, specifically an eclectic Scottish Jacobean style. The ground floor is constructed of red sandstone, while the upper floors are made of red brick with red sandstone dressings.
The facade is three stories high and consists of three bays, with a narrow center and wide outer gables. It has a moulded segmental-headed doorway that is topped with a gabled canopy supported by brackets. On either side of the doorway are large rectangular windows, except for the left end, which has a short window above the basement door. All windows have raked sills and are adorned with ornamented margins. Above the first floor, there is a band of ornamentation, and the upper floors feature three-sided shafts that are finished with domed finials.
The first floor has mullion-and-transom windows, consisting of eight, four, and eight lights, with the center window bowing slightly. There is a blind arcaded band above these windows. The second floor has five two-light mullioned windows, all of which are sashed. The gables are decorated with small-panel detailing.
