Description
78-94 Mitchell Street in Glasgow is a seven-storey commercial building designed by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers, completed in 1905. It features a Baroque style and has seven bays from the second to the fifth floors, with the fourth bay at the center. The exterior is constructed of ashlar stone, with a channelled finish on the first floor.
The building has canted and central bays with a central light, and the top floor is adorned with Doric aedicule pilasters. The outer bays have tripartite windows with arched heads and sculpted tympanums above, all topped with a raised balustraded parapet. There are two entrances that feature blocked pilasters, keystones, and segmental pedimented doorpieces. Between the central and end bays on the second, third, and fourth floors, there are two bipartite windows. The fifth and sixth floors showcase Roman Doric pilastered and swagged windows in the central five bays.
Inside, the entrance lobby displays carved details, and there are wrought-iron panels over the door and lift. A delicate wrought-iron stair balustrade features a floral motif, and additional decorative wrought-iron panels can be found at the entrances to the Gordon Public House and the Imperial Billiards Hall.
