Description
143 Oxford Street in Glasgow is a six-storey, four-bay Art Deco building that was originally constructed as a drapery warehouse in 1928 by C J McNair. An addition to the upper storey was made in 1937 by the architectural firm Whyte, Galloway & Nicol. The principal elevation features coursed ashlar stonework, while the other sides are predominantly brick. The bays of the building are separated by pilasters, and it has recessed openings along with a distinctive deep eaves cornice that shows Egyptian influence.
On the north (principal) elevation, the ground floor has been altered to create a modern shop front, and a datestone from 1928 is visible on the fifth floor to the left. The east elevation has become exposed following the demolition of an adjoining building. This side includes a six-storey, four-bay section, which is the addition by Whyte, Galloway & Nicol, and is connected to a two-bay section on the right that only has openings on the fifth and sixth storeys.
The building predominantly features metal-framed casement windows with top hoppers. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 2004.
