Description
Lomond House, located at 9 George Square in Glasgow, is a seven-storey warehouse with a basement, designed by James Miller in 1923. The building features a cream ashlar sandstone exterior supported by a steel frame. It has seven bays facing Hanover Street and five bays facing George Square. The ground and first floors create a strong base for the five upper floors, which are separated by an entablature and a band course.
Between the cills and lintels of the upper floors, there are cast bronze bands that are embossed with swags above the ground floor and wreaths above each division starting from the second floor. The central bay on Hanover Street and the outer right bay on George Square have giant doorways, adorned with a Greek Key band on the cornice and inter-War classic capitals. There is an additional doorway on Hanover Street to the outer left, featuring a deep architrave. The northeast and southeast angles of the building are reinforced with more extensive use of ashlar. The windows facing George Square are architraved, and the building has paired consoles supporting a deep eaves cornice. The roof is a mansard style, and the windows are metal framed casements with a marginal glazing pattern.
