Tannery Buildings, 46, 48 St Andrew's Square, Glasgow

The Tannery Buildings, located at 46 and 48 St Andrew's Square in Glasgow, were constructed between 1876 and 1877 as a former tannery and leather warehouse for John Inglis and Co. This building is designed in the Italianate style and features a rectangular, symmetrical layout with five storeys and a basement. The front elevations facing St Andrew's Square and Turnbull Street consist of five bays, while the rear elevation has nine bays. The building is made of polished ashlar, painted at the ground level, with a red and white brick rear.

On the St Andrew's Square elevation, the main entrance is situated to the right, featuring an elaborately consoled hood-cornice with a balcony above. The doorway is round-arched, adorned with a decorative keystone and a fanlight. To the left is a depressed arch entrance with a bull's head keystone. The shopfront includes slender pilasters interspersed with thicker pilasters.

Above the ground floor, all windows are bipartite. The first-floor windows are stilted arched with a continuous archivolt and pilaster mullions. The second-floor windows are shouldered within architraves, while the third-floor windows are plain architraved bipartites. All windows are sash and case with plate-glass glazing. The building features a dentil cornice above the ground floor, a cill band on the first and second floors, an eaves band, a bracketed cornice, and a deep plain parapet with intermediate die piers. Raised piers with pediment details are located at the corners.

The Turnbull Street elevation mirrors the main elevation's details, including a shop front at ground level. The rear elevation has nine bays with single light windows, mostly consisting of four-pane sashes. The central bay features larger openings that have been bricked up, which were originally hoist doors.
