Carriages Restaurant, 1051 Great Western Road, Glasgow

Carriages Restaurant, located at 1051 Great Western Road in Glasgow, was originally built as Kelvinside Station in 1897 by J J Burnet, designed in the style of an Italianate villa. The building is two stories high, constructed from polished ashlar stone that has been cleaned.

The symmetrical three-bay facade facing Great Western Road features architraved windows. The ground floor has a prominent wide canted central bay, which includes a tripartite pilastered window in the center, with steps leading to a narrow architraved doorway on the left and a single window on the right. This bay is topped with a cornice and a balustraded parapet, supported by die pedestals that hold urns. The first floor has bipartite windows, with the central window flanked by squat columns that support a segmental hood featuring a carved tympanum. The windows are sash style with multi-pane glazing. A continuous cornice runs above the ground floor, with a band course at the first floor cills. The eaves are adorned with a Doric frieze and a deep mutule main cornice. The roof is piended slate with tall corniced stacks.

The east elevation also has three bays, with a door flanked by windows and three architraved windows on the mezzanine and first floors. There is a high screen wall to the west that supports a balustrade, and a single-storey wing with a hipped roof extends from the west flank.

The rear elevation includes a modern brick addition. To the southwest, a curved stugged ashlar retaining wall supports a balustrade.
