Description

64-66 Albion Road is an office building constructed around 1900 for Redpath Brown and Co as St Andrew's Steelworks. It features an English Renaissance style and is two stories tall with three bays. The front is made of red sandstone ashlar, while the sides and rear are built from bull-faced rubble with ashlar dressings. Notable architectural elements include a band course, cornice, balustrade, and stone mullions and transoms.

The principal elevation is symmetrical, showcasing an architraved and corniced doorpiece with a panel featuring "RB and Co" in the center of the lintel. Above this is a bipartite window framed by pilasters and topped with a segmental pediment. Full-height canted bays are located on each side, each with dividing cornices and Elizabethan 'hall' windows on the ground floor. The first floor has smaller windows, all of which are mullioned and transomed, with single light transomed windows flanking those on the first floor. The bays are topped with parapets that feature round-arched panels with curved armorial reliefs.

The side elevation is asymmetrical in its fenestration and has an ashlar wallhead coping that sweeps up at intervals. The northwest side is attached to a neighboring tenement, while the southwest side includes a former steelworks connected by a brick link, which is not part of the current listing.

The front features timber sash and case windows behind transoms, with 8-pane sash and case windows on the side and a flat roof. There is a low wall made of coursed rubble-faced sandstone with moulded coping, corner piers topped with ball finials, and ornate cast-iron railings that enclose shallow forecourts and angle towards the entrance doorway.

The interior was not seen in 1996, and extensive later industrial and warehousing outbuildings to the south and east are not included in the listing.
