Description
49 and 51 West Prince's Street in Glasgow is a tenement block built around 1850, designed by John Bryce and related to Queen's Crescent. The building features six bays and stands three stories high, with an attic and basement.
The exterior is finished in painted ashlar, with a channelled design at the ground level. Steps lead down to the basement and are flanked by paired Roman Doric pilaster doorpieces. The doors are detailed with pilaster reveals and a fanlight above. All upper windows are architraved and corniced at the first floor, featuring sash windows with plate-glass glazing. A continuous band-course runs between the floors, and there is an eaves cornice at the top. The building has axial stacks, some of which have been cut down, and is topped with slate roofs. Additionally, there are cast-iron railings leading to the steps and around the basement.
