Description
The Black Bull is an early 19th-century, four-storey classical tenement located at 111 High Street, Glasgow, featuring a public house on the ground floor and situated on a corner site. The ground level is rendered and lined on the west elevation, while the upper sections are constructed of cream sandstone ashlar, complete with a base course and a moulded cornice.
On the east elevation facing High Street, there is an off-centre door to the left, consisting of two-leaf panelled doors. The pub windows to the right have panelled aprons in the flanking bay and outer bays. Above, there are three bays with regular fenestration, although the centre bay is blind.
The south elevation, facing Blackfriars Street, has five irregular bays at the ground level, featuring a door at the centre and to the left, along with pub windows detailed as previously described in the remaining bays. The upper section has three widely spaced bays. The west gable elevation once adjoined properties that have since been demolished, while the north elevation is bordered by a tall tenement.
The building features plate glass sash and case windows, with three windows displaying a 12-pane pattern. There are truncated stacks on the south wallhead and the west end.
