Woodside Public School, 311, 313, 315 Woodlands Road, Glasgow

Woodside Public School, located at 311, 313, and 315 Woodlands Road in Glasgow, was designed by architect Robert Dalglish and completed in 1882. This Jacobean style school features a T-plan layout and is built on a sloping site. The building has a symmetrical two-storey elevation facing Woodlands Road, raised on a podium, with ten bays and terminal pavilions arranged in a 3-4-3 configuration. The exterior is constructed of stugged ashlar with polished margins and quoins. All windows are adorned with roll-moulded architraves and aprons, and they include transoms, with some also featuring mullions. The glazing is either plate glass or multi-pane.

The terminal pavilions are shallowly advanced and resemble tower features, with banded pilasters flanking single-light windows that rise to mock square turrets above the eaves. A twin-arch blind arcade is present, topped with a heavy cornice and strapwork pediment, which is flanked by finials. The building includes strings at the cills and lintels, a heavy string course above the ground floor, an eaves cornice, and a deep parapet inscribed with 'School Board of Glasgow'. The pavilions also feature panels of pierced balustrading. The school has axial stacks and slate roofs. The four-bay flanks are similarly detailed, with corniced windows on the ground floor and a pierced parapet on the south flank. The rear elevation includes corniced and pilastered doorpieces near the re-entrant angle, as well as a central projecting bay with a square turret or campanile feature at the eaves, which is similarly detailed with strapwork pediments and finials.

Additionally, the gatepiers and railings consist of square-section ashlar piers with panelled necks and cornices that taper for ball finials. The decorative, heavy cast-iron railings are set on an ashlar dwarf wall along Eldon Street, Woodlands Road, and Park Road.
