Description
Langside Hall, located at 1 Langside Avenue in Glasgow, was originally designed by John Gibson of Gibson and MacDougall between 1847 and 1849 as the National Bank of Scotland on Queen Street. It was re-erected on this site in 1901 without significant changes, with A B MacDonald serving as the City Engineer and Horne as the assistant in charge. The building showcases a rich Italian Renaissance style, featuring sculpture by John Thomas of London. It has two storeys over a basement and a symmetrical five-bay front, all rusticated. The ground floor includes Ionic pilasters, with central columns and round-arched openings that have masked keystones. Above, there are Corinthian columns, pedimented windows, and a swagged frieze, with a central crest over the wall-head and finials. The roof is concealed from street view, and there is a balustraded basement area. Interior work and rear additions were also completed by MacDonald, while James Sellars had previously remodeled the Banking Hall in 1856.
