Description

25 and 27 St Vincent Place in Glasgow is a commercial building designed by J M Dick Peddie between 1904 and 1908, showcasing a French Renaissance style. The structure is six stories tall, with two attics and a basement, featuring thirteen bays. The outer three bays on each side are slightly advanced. It is constructed from cream sandstone ashlar, with channelling and rounded edges at the ground and first floors.

At the center of the building, there is a large porch with a segmental pediment that extends over the basement. This porch is supported by coupled Doric columns on polished granite bases and is connected to a balustrade surrounding the basement area. Steps lead up to subsidiary doorways that are framed with architraves and cornices, similar to the outer right bay. The first-floor windows are round-arched and keystoned, separated by brackets from the balustrade of the second floor. The name "Scottish Provident Institute" is prominently displayed in gilded letters at the center.

The third-floor windows are also round-arched and keystoned, featuring panelled aprons and open pediments above. The fourth-floor windows are smaller and architraved. The advanced outer bays are adorned with tetrastyle Ionic columns spanning the second, third, and fourth floors. The main entablature is topped with a full attic floor, which includes in-set windows similar to those on the fourth floor, divided by panelled bays. The eaves cornice is complemented by a die balustrade. The outer bays have leaded French pavilion roofs with two attics and oculi, while the end stacks are coped ashlar. The building also features a slate mansard roof and casement windows with decorative glazing.

The eastern elevation facing the North Court continues the main facade to the first return bay, which is simplified in design. The rear elevation is constructed of glazed brick and has modern windows. Inside, there is some notable woodwork.
