Description

31 and 33 Coplaw Street in Glasgow is a former drill hall designed by John Bennie Wilson, built in 1884 with later additions in 1904 and internal alterations in 2001. This L-plan, 2-storey and attic building served as the Headquarters for the 3rd Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers and is designed in a Collegiate Tudor style, situated on a street corner. The structure is made of coursed sandstone rubble, featuring a first floor string course and an eaves course.

The main elevation displays nearly symmetrical wallhead gables with 5-light oriel windows on the first floor, alongside a 3-stage castellated entrance tower that includes an arched former entrance with a carved crest to the right. A circular tower with a conical roof and cruciform arrow slit detail is located in the left corner. The windows vary in style, including single, triple, and paired transom and mullioned types. The west side elevation consists of 5 bays with a gable and chimney stack on the right, while the rear elevation has an irregular window pattern and is rendered.

Modern entrance doors have been added, along with timber sash and case and fixed casement windows. The roofs are covered with slate, featuring stone skews and gable chimney stacks, and there is a decorative ridge ventilator. The interior, which was not accessible in 2015, has been converted into multiple residential apartments.
