Description

The Former Dalmarnock Ironworks, located at 73 Dunn Street, was built for William Arrol and Co in 1871, with additions made in 1889 and later. The structure consists of a two-storey, 31-bay rectangular block, which has a four-bay return, and a three-storey block with a later attic that originally served as a shuttle factory, positioned to the right. This building is part of the remaining structures from the Dalmarnock Ironworks complex. At the rear, there is a large steel-framed workshop with a rectangular plan.

The exterior is constructed of red brick laid in English Garden Wall bond, featuring a yellow brick eaves course with a dentilled cornice on the two-storey section. The three-storey section has a moulded eaves course, a recessed glazed attic storey, and a cast-iron balustrade above. The workshop has later corrugated metal cladding over the brickwork on its north elevation. The ground floor has round-arched openings, while the first and second floors have shallow-arched openings with projecting cills. A large rectangular opening on the far right of the two-storey section includes a steel I-beam lintel and a roller garage door. The lower portion of the ground floor openings in the centre has been replaced with rectangular openings, and there is a single rectangular opening on the north elevation under the second window to the right at ground floor.

Inside, as observed in 2010, there is a foreman's office on the first floor, featuring vertical timber boarded walls leading to the workshop and some six-pane cast-iron framed windows, accessed via a replacement steel staircase. The workshop has an open, steel-framed interior, equipped with a replacement Arrol Five Ton travelling crane and post cranes. The windows are predominantly 32-pane cast iron frames. The two-storey section has a piended roof covered with grey slates, while the former shuttle factory has a flat roof. The workshop is topped with a later corrugated, plasticised sheeted roof.
