Description

The Engineering Works at 41 Broad Street in Glasgow, designed by Andrew Myles between 1896 and 1897, is a two-storey, five-bay rectangular building that was originally used for engineering purposes and is now part of the Brook Street Business Complex at 47 Broad Street. The structure is constructed of red brick with yellow brick detailing and features a pitched roof that has been covered with later corrugated metal cladding. It has a load-bearing brick and cast iron construction, with some timber framed windows and others that are non-traditional.

On the south elevation, the building has a tripartite arrangement with gabled wallheads on the outer bays and a dentilled cornice on the central section. The central bay features a large round-headed window with decorative astragals. The east elevation includes 25 arch-headed clerestorey windows on the upper storey, although several of these are blocked. There is a later single-storey building that abuts this elevation midway, and former openings on the lower storey have been bricked up.

The north-east elevation has a blind gable with blocked openings, an irregular stepped parapet, and two later large brick buttresses. The west wall is obscured by later buildings, and a number of windows on this side are now blocked. Some window frames retain their original pattern, while others have been altered.
