Description
20 and 22 Bridge Street in Glasgow is a building likely designed by Bruce and Hay, dated 1884. It was constructed for the Commercial Bank of Scotland, featuring flats above the bank.
This four-storey attic corner block has a five-by-five bay layout, with an ashlar front and a brick rear. The entrance at the corner is columned, with a panelled door, cornice, and a blind balustrade. The ground floor remains intact, showcasing a niche on Bridge Street with engaged columns on octagonal pedestals and an entrance topped with a broken segmental pediment. Kingston Street has a similar design, featuring pilasters and a stair entrance.
The building includes moulded panels beneath the windows and a dentil cornice. The first floor features scalloped window heads, while paired demi pilasters over panels divide the bays. The curved two-bay corner is a notable feature. On the second and third floors, the bays are divided by paired pilasters, with some windows being blind and others bipartite. An entablature runs over each storey, and the building is topped with a dentil cornice balustrade, attic dormer windows, and a slate roof.
