Description

150, 152, 154 West George Street in Glasgow is a commercial building designed by James Thomson of Baird and Thomson around 1878. It has four storeys and an attic over a basement, featuring three unequal bays with Renaissance detailing.

The ground floor slightly projects and remains unaltered, with doors in the outer bays accessed by steps that have curved parapet walls. The doorways are framed by pilasters and arched keystoned doorpieces, adorned with decorated spandrels beneath an entablature. The central section features Corinthian pilasters and columns flanking three windows, topped with an entablature. The first floor has console pedimented windows in the outer bays and a tripartite central window that projects slightly, with a decorative apron panel below. The cornice above is consoled, with masks on the outer consoles, and the central segmental pediment breaks into a balcony over the second floor's central tripartite window.

On the second floor, there is a cill band with a Greek key frieze below, while the outer windows are framed in lugged architraves with scrolls at the base and scrolled lintels. The central tripartite window is pilastered with supporting consoles and features a pedimented centre light. The third floor is simply detailed, with bold panels between the outer and inner bays. The building is topped with an elaborate entablature that includes swagging, dentils, and modillions, and the swagged parapet is interrupted by tripartite, pilastered, segmentally pedimented dormers.
