Description
216 Bath Street in Glasgow is a block of terraced houses designed by Robert Black between 1839 and 1862. The building features a three-storey structure with a full basement and service entries, and some later attics. It is constructed of painted ashlar with a channelled ground floor. All windows are sash and case, with some featuring 4-pane glazing. The ground floor has segmental-headed, recessed windows with ashlar aprons. There is a continuous band on the first floor and a cill band on the second floor. The eaves cornice is broken in places and is decorated with mutules at the pavilions, with a full pediment at the center.
The elevation facing Bath Street has two three-bay end pavilions and a seven-bay central block, which has shallow advanced outer bays and further advanced central bays. The design includes a giant order of Corinthian pilasters, also present in the first three bays of the returns to Pitt Street and Douglas Street. The pavilions feature Greek Doric porticos, with a triglyph frieze at No 218, while other doors are plain with fanlights. The first-floor windows are mainly corniced with recessed pilaster architraves in the main sections and are dropped to the band course. The third-floor windows are plain. Notably, No 216 was partly demolished in 2002.
The elevation to Douglas Street consists of three to two bays, with the first bay being blind and a shopfront inserted, maintaining a similar window arrangement to the Bath Street elevation. The elevation to Pitt Street features two to three to four bays, with a three-bay section showcasing a giant pilastrade. The window arrangement is similar but includes pilaster mullions. The building has ridge stacks and one wallhead stack facing Pitt Street, with a slate roof. There are ashlar entrance steps, cast-iron railings and gates on an ashlar cope, and some cast-iron lamp standards.
Inside No 218, there is a columned hall screen.
