97-99 Candleriggs, Glasgow

114 Brunswick Street in Glasgow is a large fruit warehouse built in 1883, with the top storey and numbers 87-99 Candleriggs rebuilt in 1912 by architects Thomson and Sandilands. The building occupies the full width of the block between Brunswick Street and Candleriggs and features five storeys with similar facades. The Brunswick Street facade has three bays, while the Candleriggs facade has five bays and simpler details, with the Candleriggs side rebuilt after a fire to the original designs.

The Brunswick Street side showcases Renaissance details with polished cream ashlar and a modern glazed shopfront to the left. There is a pend connecting both sides of the warehouse, featuring good full-height wrought-iron gates. Above ground, all windows are tripartite, divided by pilasters, and consist of sash and case windows with six-pane upper sashes and two-pane lower sashes. The first window is flanked by panel-pilasters with initialled panels, while giant partly fluted Ionic pilasters flank the second and third bays. All windows have architraves, with the second bay featuring a central swan-necked pediment. A deep mutule cornice is present over the third bay, and the attic fourth floor is more finely detailed and made of a different sandstone, likely an addition by Thomson and Sandilands. The outer bays have a square-headed Venetian window motif, while the centre bay has a taller bipartite window with a mutule pediment and carved tympanum, all flanked by pilasters supporting urns. The building also features end skews, tall banded attic stacks, and slate roofs, with some good panelled shutters still surviving.

The Candleriggs side, numbers 87-99, is a five-storey, five-bay structure made of polished red ashlar, with details similar to the Brunswick Street side but with minor simplifications, such as unfluted Ionic pilasters and the absence of pediments on the second windows. The ground floor shopfronts remain largely unaltered, and there are good wrought-iron gates to the pend and close entrances.
