Description
245 and 247 West George Street in Glasgow are three classical terraced houses built around 1830, now converted into offices. The buildings are three stories high with a basement, featuring three bays for each house and a stepped slope. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar, with some areas painted and a channelled design at the basement. The central section has been altered.
Each house has a Roman Doric fluted portico at the right-hand entry, which is positioned above steps that extend over the basement. The porticos feature triglyph friezes and cornices, with the door to number 241 blocked and replaced by a window. Most windows are sash and case, set within architraves, while the ground floor of the easternmost house has T-pane windows with leaded lights. The ground floor windows have cornices, and the first-floor windows also feature cornices on a cill band, with a sweeping design between the first two eastern houses. The eaves cornice is similarly swept, and there is a blocking course along the top. The buildings have corniced axial stacks.
On the rear elevation, the houses are finished in droved ashlar and include some 12-pane glazing. There are cast-iron railings and gates leading to the service entry, along with lamp standards.
