Description
Eglinton Street Railway Station in Glasgow dates from around 1900 and is a single-storey building with an attic, featuring a classical design with a four-bay facade on a corner site. The exterior is made of coursed red sandstone, which is channelled at the ground level. It includes a base course, string course, eaves cornice, a deep parapet, and a doorpiece supported by columns and topped with a pediment. The openings are keystoned.
On the northwest elevation, which is the principal facade at the corner of Salisbury Street and Cumberland Street, there is a single bay with an advanced doorpiece featuring a pair of Doric columns. Above the doorway, the word 'STATION' is inscribed within floral motifs. The round-arched doorway is now partially blocked.
The west elevation has a single bay with a round-arched opening at the ground level and an oculus above it.
On the north elevation, there is a wide depressed-arched opening to the left and a round-arched opening to the right at ground level. The attic features four oculi.
The interior, partially seen in 2004, includes some white glazed tiles, but there is no original glazing remaining.
