125, 127, 129 High Street, Glasgow

This building, located at 115, 117, 119, 121, and 123 High Street in Glasgow, was designed by A B McDonald in 1898. It is a five-storey tenement featuring 16th century Dutch architectural details and includes shops on the ground floor. The principal elevation is made of red sandstone with ashlar finish, while the rear is constructed from squared and snecked stone. The south side is built from red brick, and the north side is harled.

On the east elevation, there is a carriage pend to the outer left and a former door to the close off-centre to the right. The remaining bays have shop facades divided by polished Peterhead granite pilasters, topped with a sandstone ashlar corniced frieze. Above the ground floor, there are eight symmetrical bays, featuring full-height canted windows in the centre and outer bays, each topped with a shaped gable, while the intervening bays have bipartite windows. Each floor has cill courses.

The first floor has canted bays with semi-circular pediment details above the centre lights, a design that is repeated in an open form at the third floor. Each window on the third floor is corniced, with strapwork and escutcheon carving on the aprons. A moulded cornice runs below the ashlar coped parapet, which is broken at the centre. The outer bays have corniced keystones to recessed semi-circular panels in their gables, and the wider central gable features a finial carved with the Glasgow coat-of-arms.

The west elevation is symmetrical but has an outer bay to the right that is recessed above the pend. The centre bays have bipartite windows, flanked by single windows and bipartite stair windows with a semi-circular fanlight below the cornice that lights the stairwell. The penultimate bays have single windows, while the outer bays contain bipartites.

To the north and south, there are modern buildings adjoining to the north and the Black Bull Inn at 111 High Street to the south, both reaching up to the second floor. The principal elevation features plate glass sash and case windows with four-pane upper panels. The building has corniced end and mutual gable stacks, with bracketted cornices on the angle stacks at the rear.
