Description

11 and 12 Ramsay Garden is a four-storey tenement building designed by Stewart Henbest Capper in 1893, featuring an attic and basement. It showcases a blend of Arts and Crafts and Scottish vernacular styles, with a harled brown exterior complemented by red sandstone dressings. The building has distinctive swept roofs and crowstepped gables.

The east elevation includes an engaged octagonal stair tower on the right, which features moulded string courses at the first and fifth stages, a moulded eaves course, and a finialled red-tiled pyramidal roof. The ground floor is finished in red sandstone, while the upper levels are harled. A small-pane glazed two-leaf timber door is set in a depressed-arched roll-moulded surround, flanked by small windows in roll-moulded ogee-arched surrounds. Above the door and windows are carved cherubs representing a farmer, a blacksmith, and a mason. The top stage windows are framed with corniced red sandstone surrounds, and an open segmental pediment with a thistle is centered above. Stone steps lead down to the basement area on the left, with a cast-iron handrail. There is also a two-leaf timber panelled door with a small-pane glazed fanlight, flanked by a transomed window, both in roll-moulded depressed-arched surrounds, and a hoodmoulded tripartite window above. The central bay is slightly advanced and features a decorative swept-roofed timber oriel with leaded glass, with a corbelled out two-storey gable above, bracketed to the left, and topped with an apex stack.

The west elevation features a three-storey oriel on the right that jetties out, topped with a swept, bracketed roof at the fourth floor. To the left at the fourth floor is a tripartite window with a bracketed balcony and decorative wrought-iron balustrade. There is also a jettied projection at the fourth floor with a small window and a swept roof on the outer left. The attic has two piend-roofed dormers.

The building features small-pane glazing in both sash and case and casement windows, crowstepped skews, and a red-tiled roof with corniced stacks topped with circular cans.
