Description

47-49 Lanark Road is a later 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay shop and tenement building that has undergone internal alterations, with the upper floor converted to offices by Ian G. Lindsay and Partners around the 1970s. The structure is made of red sandstone ashlar and features a corniced fascia with a plain entablature, which is painted at the shop front. There is a banded cill course at the first floor and a corniced eaves course. The building is topped with large curved broken segmental arched pediments that break the wallhead and are adorned with ball finials at the center.

On the ground floor, there is a doorway to the left (east) with a plain rectangular fanlight above it, and a window to the right (west) with a stone cill. The first floor has paired windows flanking a single window in the center, all featuring banded architraves. The shop front includes a plain stallriser and two large plate glass shop windows on either side of a pilastered central doorway, which has a small painted fascia above it.

The rear elevation consists of three wide bays over two storeys, constructed from coursed squared rubble with long and short quoins and some droved ashlar cills. The fenestration is regular and covered by metal bars at the ground floor. The windows are predominantly plate glass in timber sash and case, with large plate glass windows in the shop fronts and 4-pane timber sash and case windows at the rear. The building has a pitched roof covered with grey slates, featuring a lead ridge and ashlar skews. Corniced ashlar gable end stacks with clay cans are present, and cast-iron rainwater goods are integrated behind the cornice at the ground floor, with decorative hoppers and downpipe collars on the right (west).
