Description
26 Roxburgh Street in Dowanhill, Glasgow, is a four-storey tenement building designed by Adam and Short in 1897. It features five and six-apartment main door and close-entry flatted houses, showcasing Thomsonesque details with pseudo-isodomic (banded) masonry and pilastraded windows. The building is constructed of grey sandstone, with polished ashlar and mannered rustication at the base. There is a cornice at the ground floor and a continuous cill band for the windows on the first, second, and third floors. The first and second floors have pilaster-mullioned windows, while the main wall features pilastered windows. Notable architectural elements include boldly projecting, regularly spaced massive full-height circular and square window bays. The windows are sash and case style. The Roxburgh Street elevation has a wallhead stack that is corbelled out at the first floor on simple consoles, along with axial stacks. The staircases leading to Roxburgh Street are adorned with cast iron railings.
