26-36 Bell Street, Glasgow

26-36 Bell Street in Glasgow is a six-storey Edwardian Baroque warehouse designed by architects Thomson and Sandilands in 1904. The building features a cast-iron frame and has a four-bay facade, with the central bay being wider. There is a two-bay elevation that is similarly detailed on 45 Albion Street, and a wider angled bay at the corner that is bowed on the ground, first, and second floors, with a canted design above.

The exterior is made of red ashlar sandstone, with an altered ground floor. The first, second, and third floors are channelled, and they are supported by giant order partly fluted Ionic pilasters that hold up an entablature that divides the bays. The fourth and fifth floors have strip pilasters, with ornate carvings on the fourth and panelled detailing on the fifth. All windows are sash and case with plate glass glazing.

On Bell Street, there is an off-centre wider bay that features an elaborate entrance at ground level. This entrance includes a carved consoled segmental pediment with an intricate tympanum above a pilastered keystoned doorway, which has double-leaf doors. Above this, narrow lights flank an advanced three-window centre with giant pilasters that rise to a curved pediment on the fourth floor. There is a crowning pediment over the entire five-window section, with both pediments showcasing carved tympana. The building is topped with a balustraded parapet and a facetted lead dome at the angle.

Inside, there is a tiled common stair hall with cast-iron balusters.
