Cafe Gandolfi, 64 Albion Street, Glasgow

45-51 Bell Street in Glasgow is a warehouse and market building designed by A B McDonald, City Engineer, in 1902. It showcases Edwardian Renaissance architecture and consists of five storeys with eleven bays facing Bell Street, where the southwest and central sections are wider, and three bays facing Albion and Walls Streets. The exterior is made of red sandstone ashlar, featuring channelled surfaces on the ground and first floors.

The original shop front has slender cast-iron colonettes, and the ground floor cornice serves as a cill for the first floor. In the centre, there is a segmentally pedimented bay, with the second and third floors linked by a giant Corinthian order. Each storey above the first floor has three lights, with the central lights featuring an aedicular treatment.

The southwest bay and the return bay to Albion Street have a shallow canted window, which is slightly recessed within a tall arched and pilastered opening that includes a thermal upper window. The second-floor windows are corniced and architraved, while a main modillion cornice runs above the third floor. The fourth-floor windows are also architraved, topped with a cornice and a parapet.

At the southeast angle, there is a curved entrance that is now blocked, canted from the second floor. The north gable on the return elevations features a pediment.

The cheese market, located at the rear of 51 Bell Street, is a single-storey building accessed from Albion and Wall Streets. It is constructed from channelled red sandstone and has arched entrances and wide stall openings divided by timber pilasters, along with a block cornice and parapet. The market area is supported by cast-iron columns and features a steel lattice trussed roof.
