Description

69 and 71 Queen Street in Glasgow is a seven-storey warehouse built in 1899 by George S Kenneth. The building features four irregular bays and includes offices and shops adorned with classical details. The polished granite shop front at ground level has a cornice and entrances located to the left of center and at the outer right, with two-leaf panelled doors. Above the ground floor, the structure is made of red sandstone ashlar.

The central section has paired windows, while the outer bays are tripartite, with the left bay canted at the corner. The first-floor windows have simplified Gibbsian blocks, and there is a balustraded balcony across the second floor. The tripartite windows on the third and sixth floors have pilastered mullions, with attached columns for the fourth and fifth floors, and for the central windows of the fifth floor. The third-floor tripartites feature boldly corbelled cills.

A modillion cornice is present on the fourth floor, along with a consoled main cornice that has a parapet and urn finialled dies. Below the cills of the paired windows on the fourth floor, there is carved detail, and the sixth-floor windows have billet moulded cills above swagged ornament. The second and third floors display armorials, one heraldic and the other initialled. A swan-neck pediment crowns the central light of the canted bay at the parapet.

The return elevation has two bays of paired windows and a chamfered angle to the west, with a door at ground level. This area is currently under alteration as of 1988. The rear elevation is constructed of brick and features stepped and paired stair windows at the center, along with a metal fire escape.
