Description
32-40 Bridgeton Cross in Glasgow is a former bank building designed by John Burnet around 1876. It is a three-storey structure with an attic, featuring a symmetrical French Renaissance style and three bays. The ground floor has been altered for shops, while the building is constructed of ashlar stone, with channeling at the first floor and corners. It has a cornice at the ground level, cill courses, and a band course, along with a deep cornice that includes a corbelled and decorative frieze. The attic features dormers that break the wallhead.
The first floor has a central three-light oriel window, with two additional windows above set in a large, round-arched recess. There are flanking two-light corniced windows with round-arched windows above, all framed by round-arched architraves. Decorative roundels adorn the first and second storeys.
The attic storey has a central three-window bay that breaks the wallhead, topped with a French roof. The windows have moulded architraves, and there is a dummy central window. Most of the windows are predominantly replacement timber sash and case. The roof is a mansard style covered with grey slates, some of which are fish-scale, and there are finials on the gables.
