Description
786 Crow Road is a large four-storey tenement block built in the Free Style, likely designed by H Campbell between 1907 and 1913. It features long frontages along Great Western Road and Crow Road, with shops predominantly occupying the ground floor. The street-facing elevations are made of red sandstone ashlar, with a continuous cill course at the first floor and parapets. There are broken cill courses and string courses on the upper floors, along with canted bay windows, which are mostly four-light, and paired balustraded balconies on the second floor. The building has tall stacks and cast-iron railings at the parapet. A notable feature is the domed, three-bay bowed end at the junction of Great Western Road and Crow Road, with bays defined by Ionic columns and gabled keystoned oculi above. The dome is topped with a lantern.
On the north elevation facing Great Western Road, a pair of polished granite columns support a consoled and corniced near-central bowed entrance, which is currently a butcher's shop and features the lettering 'ANNIESLAND MANSIONS'. The bowed storeys at the junction with Crow Road display lettering between the second and third floors that reads 'ANNIESLAND 19.M.H.10 MANSIONS'.
The building has some plate glass timber sash and case windows with horns, alongside some modern replacements. The dome is covered with grey slates, and large stacks with vertical band courses rise from the first floors, breaking the eaves.
The interior, partially seen in 2004, includes tiled hallways and stairwells, with some painted glass windows remaining in the stairwells. Surrounding the property, low coursed red sandstone boundary walls enclose small front gardens along Willoughby Drive, Crow Road, and Ancaster Drive.
