223, 227, 229 Ingram Street, Glasgow

223, 227, and 229 Ingram Street is an imposing commercial building designed by James Boucher in 1875, featuring French Renaissance details. The structure has five storeys and an attic, with an asymmetrical four-bay facade facing Ingram Street and a symmetrical five-bay frontage on Miller Street. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, with channeling up to the first floor and rusticated quoins on the projecting end bays. The ground floor has been modernized.

On Ingram Street, each bay contains three windows, with the outer windows being narrower above the entrance. The first-floor windows are round-arched with apron panels and cavetto reveals. The second floor features architraved and corniced windows, with heavily consoled, pierced balconies on the east and entrance bays. The third floor has decorative architraves and keystones, topped by a main cornice. The fourth floor includes pilastered and arcaded tripartite windows with cast-iron balconies, and a broken segmental pediment above the entrance bay. The dormers are pedimented.

The Miller Street facade exhibits similar detailing. The building has a raised bell-cast roof with fish-scale slating, adorned with ornate wrought-ironwork on the raised roofs, fourth-floor balconies, parapet, and dormer finials. The sash and case windows feature a plate-glass glazing pattern.
