Description
36-44 Bothwell Street in Glasgow is a free Renaissance commercial building designed by H and D Barclay in 1891. It stands five storeys tall and features three wide bays. The ground floor is finished in polished granite, while the upper levels are constructed from red sandstone. The ground floor is pilastered and retains some original shop fronts.
On the first floor, there are two bipartite windows, and the second and third floors each have five windows in every bay. The first-floor windows are flanked by Doric and Corinthian decorated pilasters, while the third-floor windows are round-headed. The second floor features Ionic decorated half columns with alternating pedimented and keystoned heads. Between the bipartite windows on the first floor and the bays on the second to fifth floors, there are carved panels.
A main cornice above the third floor projects forward over alternate lights. The gable heads are pedimented and scrolled, featuring tripartite windows and sculpted panels. The stacks are panelled and corniced, dividing the bays, and corbelled angle pilasters at the third floor rise through the fourth to support a crown finial. The roof is slate with a red tiled ridge.
On the Wellington Street elevation, there are three bays and five storeys, with openings arranged in a 3-5-3 pattern on the upper floors. The door in the northern bay has a scrolled, bracketed pediment that rises into the first floor. In the southern bay, two windows flank a decorative panel. The ornamental details mirror those on Bothwell Street, with pediments on the outer narrower bays that are scrolled and finialled.
