Description
This building at 474 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow dates from around 1812 and is a classical villa with two raised storeys and a full basement, featuring three bays. The front is finished in polished ashlar, while the side and rear elevations are in droved ashlar. All windows are sash and case.
On the ground floor, there is a central Greek Doric portico with a full entablature that includes triglyphs, metopes, mutules, and guttae, supported by fluted columns. This portico is enclosed in a later addition and painted. To the right, there are two tripartite stone mullioned, pilastered windows with a frieze and cornice, featuring etched glass on the right and leaded glass on the left.
The first floor has three single light windows set in architraves with corbelled cills, consoles, and cornices. The building has an eaves band, cornice, and blocking course, with a low stack. The side elevations are plain but include an eaves band.
The rear elevation consists of three bays, with a central stairwell bay that projects forward and features a corniced wallhead stack. There are angle margins, margined windows and openings, and an eaves cornice, with mainly 12-pane glazing. The gable ends are symmetrical with stacks, and the slate roof includes two full-width skylights.
Inside, there is a Greek Ionic column screen in the hall and a fireplace located on the ground floor to the left.
