This building, located at 1155-1163 Argyle Street in Glasgow, dates from around 1860 and is a three-storey classical tenement with modern shops on the ground floor. It features five bays, including a canted corner bay on the western return to Kelvinhaugh Street, with the third bay from the east being blind.

The entrance at No 1159 Argyle Street is a plain close with a panelled door. A cornice at the ground floor creates a cill band for the first floor. The first-floor windows are bracketted and corniced, with the first bay from the east featuring a two-light window with a stone mullion. There is a cill band on the second floor and three set-back dormers. The eaves have a cornice, and there is a parapet above. A corniced ridge stack is present on the slate roof.
