68 Oakfield Avenue, Glasgow

68 Oakfield Avenue is a classical terrace building constructed around 1855. It is two stories high with a partial basement and consists of 15 bays, originally designed as houses but now used as teaching buildings and offices for the University of Glasgow. Attached to the north is a two-story, three-bay house at 63 Gibson Street. The terrace features polished ashlar sandstone, while 63 Gibson Street is made of droved sandstone with a channelled ground floor. There is a ground floor band course, a first floor cill course, a cornice, a pierced parapet to the south, and a blocking course to the north. Small single-storey service wings are located at the rear.

The elevation facing Oakfield Avenue has alternating right and left entrances, each accessed by steps, with the entrance bays at Nos. 68 and 70 being advanced. The three-bay house at 63 Gibson Street has a central Doric portico with a cornice, parapet, and architraved windows. The west bay is advanced while the east bay is canted, and the ground floor windows are corniced. The two-bay east elevation of the house is designed to complement the terrace.

The windows throughout are timber sash and case, primarily with eight-pane glazing. The roof is slated with valley sections and features stair cupolas, along with mutual stacks.

The interior of No. 63 Gibson Street, partially visible in 2010, showcases decorative plasterwork, including cornices in the principal rooms and elaborate brackets with cherubs in the stairhall. The staircase has cast iron balusters, and there is a timber-panelled entrance hall, panelled doors, and a painted fireplace in the former dining room on the ground floor.

The property also includes gatepiers and boundary walls, featuring pyramidal-capped gatepiers at 63 Gibson Street and droved ashlar retaining and boundary walls with coping, although the railings are missing.
