130-136 St Vincent Street, Glasgow

130-136 St Vincent Street in Glasgow is a four-storey classical commercial building designed by James Thomson of Baird and Thomson in 1876. The structure features modern shops on the ground floor and consists of 10 by 14 bays. It is constructed of ashlar stone with channelled blocks at the first floor. The windows are sash and case with plate glass. The first floor has a plain entablature, while a modillion cornice crowns the building.

The façade includes a giant order of composite pilasters, which are banded with string courses from the second to the fourth floor. The second floor windows have lugged architraves and shallow block pediments adorned with anthemion acroteria. The fourth floor features roll-moulded margins and a moulded cill band that is interrupted by pilasters. The main modillion cornice is complemented by a panelled frieze with sculpted rosettes.

The details of the building extend two bays into West George Lane to the north. The elevation on Hope Street cleverly adapts to the slope of the site by reducing the storey heights of the first and second floors in the northern six bays. All second floor window heads are aligned at the same level, and the third floor maintains a consistent storey height and cornice level throughout.
