Fairfield House (former General Offices of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Works), 1030-1048 Govan Road

Fairfield House, formerly the General Offices of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Works, was designed by Honeyman and Keppie and completed in 1890. This long, classic two-storey office building is constructed of red ashlar stone. The central three-bay section features a ground floor with channelled ashlar and a polished upper section. The prominent central bay has an architraved and pedimented doorway adorned with mermaids, set within an arched panel. Flanking this are statues of a mariner and a shipwright on trireme podia. A dentil cornice supports a pedimented temple that includes two inner Corinthian columns in front of three large stained glass windows with mullions and transoms, along with a balustrade above the main entrance. There are two cross windows on either side with pilasters, and eight bays on each side containing first-floor drawing offices with pilasters.

At the west end, a three-storey tower features Doric columned openings on the second floor. The west side has six bays with arched ground floor windows and a blocked pedimented door dated 1890, along with a first-floor pilastrade. The east end has a pediment facing east, intersected by a 1903 addition for a gangway to new offices, which was demolished around 2008. There is a one-storey lodge with an arched entrance and bipartite windows to the east, as well as two tall domed gatepiers with channelled bases.

The rear of the building is brick with an ashlar band course and details. The curved section at the east has arched second-floor windows and an ashlar parapet. A three-storey square Italianate water tower includes an arched door and an arched bipartite window on the first floor. The water tank, located behind a balustrade, is supported by brick piers and Doric columns.

Most of the windows on the north and south sides are original sash and case, featuring two panes below and nine panes above. The roof is an M-roof, covered with slate and glass, with a modern addition behind the pediment.

Inside, the vestibule has a mosaic floor with a modern "GS" insertion and an ornate wrought-iron banister leading to the stairs. The board room features a finely carved wooden fireplace with a portrait of Sir William Pearce, and the walls are two-thirds panelled. The room has a geometric plaster ceiling, Corinthian columns, and stained glass windows. The arched corridors lead to an open drawing office on the first floor, which has wooden beams supporting the M-roof and cast-iron columns.

The building underwent restoration from 2009 to 2014 and is currently used as offices and a heritage centre, with plans for continued use into 2025.
