Description

The former squash court at Riverside Works, 3 Miller Row, was designed by Cousin Ormiston and Taylor in 1913. This two-storey building has a wide, four-bay rectangular plan and is styled in the Scots Baronial manner. It has been converted to offices and a workshop around 1980 and is situated on sloping ground at the foot of Dean Bridge. The structure features coursed random rubble with some ashlar dressings and includes a three-stage octagonal tower at the northwest corner topped with a conical roof.

On the west elevation, which serves as the entrance, there are two wide bays over two storeys. The building has a moulded corniced eaves course with a castellated parapet above. The entrance features an architraved and corniced door, with a bipartite window to the right and another window further to the right. The first floor has three corniced windows, each adorned with elaborate strapwork pediments.

The north elevation also has two storeys and four wide bays. It features a moulded string course at the ground floor, with an arcade of four large blind round arches above. The centre of the arches has mock gunloops, and two rectangular windows were inserted in 1957 to the left. Above, there is a corniced eaves course and a castellated parapet. A corbelled bartizan is located to the left at the first floor, with later ashlar corbelling.

The tower consists of three stages: the first and second stages are octagonal, while the third stage is circular, topped with a conical roof and a ball finial. A moulded string course separates the stages, and there is a plain eaves course on moulded corbels. A single window at the second stage has a cill that forms part of the string course.

Inside, the former open-plan squash court has been converted into offices and light manufacturing workshops as of 2008. There is a small entrance area behind the main doorway, with a later stair to the left in the tower. A mezzanine floor, supported by steel beams, spans the entire interior to create a first floor.

The building features 8-pane timber sash and case windows, with some later plate glass windows on the north elevation. The roof behind the parapet is flat, while the tower has a conical roof, all covered with grey slates. The building also includes cast-iron rainwater goods.
