Description
206 West George Street in Glasgow is a block of classical terraced houses built around 1830. The building consists of three and four storeys with a basement, featuring three bays for each inner house and five bays at the ends, which are likely converted into flats. The western end has six bays, with the second bay from the south being blind, while the eastern return has nine bays, with the first bay from the south being blind at the ground and first floors. There have been various alterations and additions over the years.
The exterior is finished in polished ashlar with a channelled basement. The entrances are located on the left side of the central houses, with central entries at the ends, each accessed by steps. The central bays have simple pilastered and corniced doorpieces. Notable features include a projecting Roman Ionic portico at No 204 and a semi-engaged Roman Ionic portico at No 226. No 114 West Campbell Street has a pilastered, corniced doorpiece with a double entry and fanlights. The windows are sash and case within architraves, with some featuring 12-pane glazing on West Campbell Street. The ground floor windows, altered at No 208, have corbelled cills and corniced block pediments with antefixae at No 204, while the second-floor windows at No 216 are plain. The building has been raised later, featuring two and three-light windows in the centre house and some dormers, along with a cornice on the first floor.
The eastern pavilion has been raised and extended to the rear, featuring a consoled segmentally pedimented, architraved entrance, and a consoled, pedimented window above in the third bay from the north. The second-floor windows have recessed architraves that drop to the first-floor cornice, with moulded cills and panelled aprons, a design repeated in Wellington Street, which also has two-light windows in the second bay from the south. The window arrangement is consistent across all floors in Wellington Street, with an anta mullion window at the first floor. The building has a plain eaves entablature and a modillion cornice.
On the elevation to West Campbell Street, there is a dormer and a reduced, corniced wallhead stack. A single-storey service wing has been altered into a shop with a segmentally pedimented doorpiece.
The interiors include a corniced vestibule and a column hall screen at No 204.
