Description

246 and 248 West George Street in Glasgow are classical terraced houses built around 1830. They are three stories tall with a basement and consist of three bays, with a stepped design due to the slope of the street. The buildings have been altered for use as offices and feature a five-bay return to West Campbell Street. The first bay from the north is blind on the first and second floors, while the second bay is also blind. The exterior is made of ashlar stone, with a channelled basement that has been partially altered.

The entrances are located to the right at the top of steps, featuring consoled and block pedimented doorpieces at Nos 240 and 242, and a double arched, corniced doorpiece at No 234. The windows are primarily sash and case, set within architraves, with the second-floor windows dropped. The ground floor windows at Nos 238 and 248 have corbelled cills that have been altered, and there is a ground floor band course that has been partly removed. The first floor has a cill band and corniced windows. The eaves feature a cornice and a blocking course, with ridge stacks that include paired, corniced, panelled wallhead stacks rising from a pedestal at West Campbell Street.

The rear elevation is made of droved ashlar and includes some 12-pane glazing.
