Description
131 St Vincent Street in Glasgow is a modern classical commercial building designed by James Napier of Laird and Napier architects between 1927 and 1929. It has five storeys and a mezzanine, and is four bays wide, constructed of ashlar stone. The tall ground floor features an architrave in the entrance bays that encloses a tall fanlight mezzanine. The left three bays at ground and mezzanine level are linked by a frame supported by distyle in antis, with Ionic order columns flanking the moulded door frame. The entrance includes glazed side lights and a mezzanine, along with bronze outer entrance doors.
Originally, there was a side entrance to the upper floors in the westernmost bay, which has since been converted to a window opening with a banded, keyblocked surround to the upper light. The ground floor cornice is supported by carved consoles. The windows on the first, second, and third floors are vertically linked in recesses, featuring keyblocked segmental arches at the third floor level, with the second bay from the east being consoled. The building predominantly has small-paned windows in metal frames throughout. The main entablature includes a dentilled cornice and a parapet.
The interior has been partly altered, featuring a marble-lined entrance hall with a stained glass window at the rear in the light well, as noted in the previous listed building record.
