Description
The former Janitor's House to the former Woodside Public School, located at 30 Eldon Street in Glasgow, was designed by Robert Dalglish and dates from 1882. This two-storey building is styled in the Jacobean manner and has a flat-iron shape, connecting with the main school. It features stugged ashlar stonework with polished margins and quoins. The windows have roll-moulded architraves and aprons, with stone mullions.
The building has a narrow, bowed elevation facing Eldon Street, which includes a bipartite window on each floor and a dated tablet with scroll decorations above the cornice. The side elevations are two bays wide. There is an entrance portico at the side or rear, supported by square-section ashlar columns, with an entablature and parapet above. An ashlar wall section adjoins the building.
The windows are plate glass sash and case style, and there is a corniced ashlar stack at the wallhead. The roof is covered with grey slates.
The property also features gatepiers and railings, which consist of square-section ashlar piers with a panelled neck, a cornice, and a tapered base topped with a ball finial. The decorative railings are made of heavy cast iron and are set on an ashlar dwarf wall.
