Description
This building is a garage located at 140 Salkeld Street in Glasgow, probably designed by James Miller in 1933. It is a two-storey structure with a seven-by-eight bay layout, constructed from brick and concrete. A prominent feature is the curved corner tower made of faience, which is adorned with fluted projecting pilasters. The ground floor includes two doors with wrought-iron gates beneath a flat canopy. The first floor has modern windows that were originally curved, along with two curved side balconies featuring iron railings. Flanking faience panels enhance the design, and there are tall octagonal windows on each side, with large multi-paned metal-framed windows on both the ground and first floors, separated by fluted faience pilasters. The end bay facing Mauchline Street includes a door, and the building has a high parapet and a flat roof.
Inside, the vestibule features two art deco columns with horizontal ribs and curved up-turned light fittings, partially covered with new flock wallpaper. The staircase is finished with wooden panelling, while the other rooms are plain.
