Description
The Hydraulic Power Station at Queen's Dock in Glasgow was built by John Carrick between 1877 and 1878. It is designed in an Italianate style and features a T-plan layout with a four-stage 'campanile' accumulator tower located at the northwest corner. The building consists of six by three bays and is constructed from coursed ashlar stone, with ashlar angle quoins, surrounds, and fanned voussoirs above the openings. The openings are plain and round-headed, with three unequal bays on the south section, which is oriented east-west and has regular windows along with a band course at the impost level. Both faces of this section have pediments, and there is a sculpted panel in the tympanum. The north section has three bays with keyblocked windows.
The four-stage tower is detailed with a band course at each level and a moulded cornice at the second stage. Each face of the tower features a bracketed cornice above a clock.
Replacement windows have been installed, which match the original top-hopper pattern. The interior of the building has not been seen.
