Description
81 Berkeley Street in Glasgow is a terrace of houses built around 1855. It consists of long, two-storey houses over a basement, featuring three bays, along with three-storey, six-bay end tenement blocks that have a balustrade on the eastern side. The three central houses are taller than the flanking ones and also have a balustrade. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, which is partly painted, and has a channelled design at the ground level with channelled voussoirs above the basket-arched door lintels. The platforms above the basement areas extend outward, and there is a band course between the ground and first floors. The upper floor windows have architraves, and there is an eaves cornice along with a blocking course on the lower ranges. Most windows feature four-pane glazing, with number 73 displaying a decorative musical notation design for its grilles, and there are some dormer windows present. The return elevations facing Granville and Elderslie Streets are similar, consisting of eight bays with tripartite windows in the southern bays and two northern bays that are blind.
