Description
139 and 141 West George Street in Glasgow is a six-storey office building with an attic and basement, designed by Robert Alexander Bryden around 1900. The structure features two unequal bays with tripartite and single light windows. It is constructed of polished red ashlar with a granite basement, and includes a polished granite stair and balustrade. The east bay is shallow and canted.
The building has sash and case windows with plate glass. The entrance is located to the right, framed by an architraved, shouldered lintel with a decorative cast-iron surround. A solid balcony on the first floor is supported by mask brackets and features a sculpted front, with a sculpted pediment above the central canted window. There is a cill band on the second floor, and the third floor windows have sculpted aprons and a cill band. A balustraded balcony on the fourth floor overlooks the canted bay, which has a semi-engaged Roman Ionic column and a mullioned window. The building is topped with a dentil band, cornice, and a sculpted frieze, culminating in a tall stylised pediment that includes an architraved, corniced oculus and flanking finials. The west bay features a scroll shoulder architraved pediment window.
