Glass Warehouse, 118-128 Howard Street, Glasgow

The Glass Warehouse, located at 118-128 Howard Street in Glasgow, was designed by J Gibb Morton of Beattie and Morton in 1903. This symmetrical, five-storey and attic, five-bay warehouse showcases Art Nouveau architecture. It features a red sandstone ashlar façade, which is painted at the ground level and has a base course, while the eastern gable is harled and now exposed.

The central doorway is flanked by large shop windows, with an additional doorway in the outer bays, all highlighted by decorative, bracketted hood-niches. The centre bay on the upper floors is flanked by moulded pilaster strips that are chamfered at the first floor, with recessed elongated battered strips on the second and third floors. The divisions between the bays become progressively deeper above a corbel at the second floor. Each bay on the first and second floors has stone mullioned bipartite windows, and the third floor of the centre bay features a bowed design, with a corbelled cill at the second floor and a bowed parapet at the attic level.

At the third floor, segmentally arched timber mullioned tripartite windows flank the centre bay, complete with bracketted convex cills and keystones that rise into a roll-moulded eaves course. Carved corbels connect the segmental lintels. The attic contains small bipartite windows with "bobbin" column jambs, and the mansard roof above has swept eaves. The windows are fitted with plate-glass glazing for the casement windows, while the third floor and attic windows feature small-pane lights.
