Pumping Station, 100 Seaward Street, Glasgow

The Pumping Station at 100 Seaward Street in Glasgow was built between 1909 and 1910 by the civil engineers D and A Home Morton, with W C Easton serving as the resident engineer responsible for the substructure from 1907 to 1909. This tall, single-storey pumphouse features a five-by-one bay design made of terracotta brick, with stone cills and a string course. The large ground floor windows are arched and include mullions and transoms, with a total of 36 panes divided by brick piers. The west bay, which faces the workshop, retains its original wooden door. Above the ground floor, there are semi-circular mullioned windows that provide light to the pumps, and a curvilinear parapet with stone dressings crowns the building. The east gable includes a ventilation oculus, and the roof is both glazed and slated, equipped with ridge ventilators.

Inside, the walls are finished with enamelled white brick, accented by a blue course. There is a one-storey brick office that has a blocked door leading to Seaward Street, along with two doors and three windows facing the yard. The office has a slate roof. Additionally, there is a brick boiler house with a slate roof and a louvred ridge ventilator, positioned at right angles to the pumphouse.
