Description

41 Oswald Street in Glasgow is a four-storey, six-bay warehouse and office block designed by J J Craig in 1901, with later alterations. The building features a near symmetrical Baroque style, constructed from red sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings. It has a base course, an architraved string course between the ground and first floors, and architraved cill courses at the second and third floors. The eaves are mutuled and corniced, topped with a coped parapet. The corners are rusticated, and the ground and third floor openings have Gibbsian surrounds. The first floor windows have keystoned, shouldered surrounds, while the second floor windows feature keystoned, corniced surrounds with decorative aprons. Sandstone mullions and transoms are present throughout.

On the entrance elevation, there are two bipartite windows centered at the ground level, flanked by large segmental-arched openings. To the outer left, there is a bipartite window, and a single opening is located to the outer right. The upper floors are regularly fenestrated, with bipartite windows flanking the center and tripartite windows on the left and right, which have columnar mullions and central pediments at the second floor. There are also bipartite windows to the outer left and right. A shaped pediment is centered above the date '1901'.

The west rear elevation was not seen in 1999. The building has plate glass timber windows with small-pane uppers throughout and a grey slate roof, featuring corniced stacks with circular cans. The interior was also not seen in 1999.
