Description
32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 Queen Street in Glasgow is a seven-storey, seven-bay building designed by Thomson and Sandilands between 1912 and 1914. It features a free composition style with Baroque details, constructed from red sandstone ashlar. The ground floor has modern shop fronts, while the central entrance is marked by a keystoned arch that reaches the height of the first-floor lintels. Above this entrance is a tripartite window at the first floor, framed by a swagged surround and a consoled balcony that supports urn finials on either side of the second floor.
The first floor is capped by a cornice, and the second floor showcases channelled ashlar with tripartite, keystoned windows that have segmental hoodmoulds above the central lights, except for the outer bays. The central five bays feature set-back shallow canted windows on the third, fourth, and fifth floors, which are separated by giant fluted attached Ionic columns on pedestals. Below the fourth floor, there are carved wreaths and keystoned windows, topped by a modillioned cornice that includes a balcony above the fifth floor's central bays, leading to a balustraded parapet with dies.
The outer bays are flanked by pilaster strips and have breaking eaves at the aediculed end bays, which also terminate in a balustraded parapet. Decorative cast-bronze cartouches and details adorn the railed balconies above the main entrance and the fifth floor. The building features casement and sash and case windows, with brick and harled side elevations. The rear courts are finished with glazed bricks and distinctive square-pane glazing for the windows.
