289 Allison Street, Glasgow

Alexander Thomson (d 1875), 1875-7, and presumably

completed by his partner, Robert Turnbull, in Thomson's

own style. Finely-detailed 4-storey tenement with main

front to Allison Street, single window bays, return

elevations plainer. Part to left of centre, with

receding wall-planes, perhaps the original design by

Thomson; treatment otherwise simplified. Polished ashlar

with carved detail now mostly stone-cleaned. Wide

pilasters at ground to bays, deep entablature over;

distinctive aedicular openings, top floor windows with

pilastered jambs supporting deep main entablature,

anthemion set in recessed panels between windows;

distinctive glazing, tall lower sahses; wall-head stacks

with acroteria; roofs mainly slated, partly re-roofed

in modern tiles. No 34 Daisy Street has been re-glazed.
