54-62 Bothwell Street, Glasgow

54-62 Bothwell Street in Glasgow is a commercial building designed by David Barclay (H and D Barclay) in 1901, showcasing a Free Renaissance style. The structure consists of five storeys and an attic, with five bays. The ground floor features polished granite, while the upper floors are made of red ashlar.

The façade includes two shop fronts that flank a round-headed central entrance. From the first to the third floors, each bay has paired windows, which are flanked by Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders, respectively, with Ionic detailing above the main cornice. The second floor is adorned with attached columns and scrolled pediments, while the third floor features round-headed windows with swags set in a bracketed frieze. Decorative panels or niches divide the bays above the first floor.

At the top, there is a central shaped pediment gable with a semi-circular sculpted panel framed by Greek-cross plan stacks. The flanking parapet includes central aedicules supported by scrolled consoles, which are pierced with semi-circular openings. A later storey has been added to the rear. The angle pilasters above the main cornice rise to a crown finial.

The return elevation to West Campbell Street has six storeys and four bays, with windows arranged in a 3-2-3-2 pattern, detailed similarly to the Bothwell Street elevation from the ground to the fifth floor, with the sixth floor being a later addition.
