Description
85-99 Great Western Road in Glasgow is a terrace of tenement buildings dating from around 1850, designed by John Bryce and related to Queen's Crescent. The structure is astylar, featuring three storeys and attics, with a total of 15 bays and a five-bay pavilion at the eastern end. The facade is made of polished ashlar, with the ground floor channelled on the eastern return elevation.
All upper windows are architraved, with a cornice at the first floor and a pedimented design at the pavilion. The eighth bay includes bipartite mullioned windows. The windows are sash with plate glass glazing. There is a heavy string course above the ground floor and a string cill band at the second floor. The building has an eaves cornice, a blocking course, and a deep plain parapet at the pavilion. Wallhead and axial stacks are present, and the roofs are covered with slate.
At No. 79, the ground floor features a polished red granite bank facade. The interior is notable for its Doric columns, coffered ceiling, pilasters, and plaster cornice, along with a wooden pilastered door-piece.
