Description
260 Clyde Street in Glasgow is a seven-storey office block with an attic, designed by Eric A Sutherland in 1907 in a Free Style. The building features red sandstone ashlar on the front, which is channelled at the ground level and has a base course, while the sides and rear are made of brick. It has five bays, with the outer bays slightly projecting.
At the ground floor, there are arcaded keystoned openings with cavetto reveals in the outer bays, and internal steps lead to the central doorway. The remaining bays have recessed windows with panels below, and there is a secondary doorway in the outer left bay. Above the ground floor, there is a band course. The first floor has stone mullioned and transomed bipartite windows, with those in the centre three bays set in slightly raised panels and topped with a deep cornice.
The second floor features corbelled ashlar balconies in the outer bays. The centre bays on the second, third, and fourth floors are set in arched recesses, with a jettied balcony above. The outer bays on these floors have single windows with arched hoodmoulds above the fourth-floor windows. The fifth floor has canted windows with parapets in the centre bays. The building is topped with a moulded cornice and has leaded cone-roofed polygonal pavilions in the outer bays, which have slated aprons and round arched windows. There are also modern flat-roofed dormer windows.
