7 Queen's Gardens, Glasgow

5 Queen's Gardens in Glasgow is a building designed by architect James Thomson around 1875. It is set back from Victoria Crescent Road and features an astylar terrace, with modern flats filling a gap site between Nos 1 and 5 due to bomb damage. The remaining structure consists of five four-bay houses made of polished ashlar, which has been partly cleaned. The building has two storeys, attics, and a basement, with three-storey shallow advanced four-bay terminal pavilions at Nos 1 and 8.

The entrance features steps that oversail the basement, leading to an architraved tripartite doorpiece adorned with elaborate consoles that support a cornice. This entrance includes glazed sidelights and a fanlight, along with double-leaf outer doors. To the right, a two-storey canted window rises from the basement. All windows are architraved, with the first-floor windows in the two-storey range featuring lugged architraves. The pavilions have consoled and corniced first-floor sash windows with plate glass glazing. A band course runs at the ground level, and there is a cornice at the first-floor cills and above the first floor at the pavilions. The main cornice features mutules, and the two-storey range has a balustraded parapet, which is missing at Nos 5 and 6. The pavilions have a blocking course, and there are corniced axial stacks, some with octagonal cans. The roofs are covered with slate, and there are cast-iron railings leading to the steps and basement.

The flank facing Queen's Place (No 8) is made of polished ashlar and consists of four bays, with the right two bays recessed. All windows are architraved, with lugged architraves at the first floor. The ground floor features a tripartite window with a cornice and blocking course.

The flank facing Queen's Gate (No 1) is also made of polished ashlar and consists of three bays, with all windows architraved and lugged at the first floor. There is a two-storey corniced projecting square window to the left, with pilaster mullions at the first floor and a tripartite window above. The rear elevation is made of droved ashlar with corniced wall-head stacks.

At the carriageway, there are paired square ashlar gatepiers that are corniced and support cast-iron lamp brackets. Along the lane, a droved ashlar coped wall supports spearhead cast-iron railings.
