Description

Hubbard Tea Rooms, located at 508, 510, and 512 Great Western Road in Glasgow, is a two-storey rectangular plan Art Deco building designed by James Lindsay between 1929 and 1931. Originally functioning as shops and a tea room, it has been modified to serve as a public house and nightclub. The southern elevation features cream glazed terracotta tiles, while the other sides are predominantly finished with white painted harl. The first floor showcases four large tripartite canted windows, which are interspersed with subtle coloured leaded glass decorations. The building is topped with a low parapet that includes a stylised metalwork screen.

On the southern elevation, the ground floor has undergone significant alterations, now featuring a near-central entrance to the public house flanked by recessed sections. Above this, the four large tripartite canted windows are separated by stylised pilasters that include narrow panels of chevron-patterned leaded glass in green, red, and yellow. The outer corners of the elevation are accentuated by stylised pilasters, with the one on the far right being angled and topped with a curved foliate motif.

The eastern elevation includes a return of the southern elevation that is tiled, with tiles extending to the eaves level and a narrow implied tiled pilaster on the right. The far right section is harled with a rounded corner, and many of the original openings have been blocked or altered.

The northern elevation is also harled and retains original margined glazing and metal window frames from the southern elevation's upper storey, although the glazing has been painted or mirrored. The interior of the ground floor has been extensively altered for the pub, while the first floor was not accessible for inspection in 2004.
