Description

24 George Square in Glasgow is an office building designed by James Sellars in 1874. It has three storeys, a mezzanine, and a basement, with an attic storey added later. The building is constructed from cream ashlar sandstone featuring vermiculated channelling that alternates with ashlar bands at the ground level and on the quoins. There is a cornice above the ground floor and a guilloche cill course at the second floor. The decorative eaves brackets are grouped in threes and fours beneath the original mutulated main cornice.

The entrance is round-arched, featuring a masked keystone and a moulded architrave with a guilloche frieze. It is complemented by decorative wrought-iron two-leaf gates and an overthrow, as well as window guards on the ground floor bipartite windows. Above the bipartite windows, there are swagged panels, with the mezzanine storey positioned above.

On the first floor, the aediculed windows each have a balustraded balcony and segmental shell pediments. The second floor and attic windows are architraved, with pilasters on panelled dies separating the attic windows and a modillioned cornice above. The rear of the building faces Anchor Lane. The glazing features a plate glass pattern, with some top-hopper windows.
