Description
3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 James Morrison Street in Glasgow is a commercial building dating from around 1860, with its current appearance likely influenced by the street's formation in the early 1870s. The structure originally featured four storeys and an attic, with three bays facing London Road and a curved angle bay connecting to a seven-bay elevation on James Morrison Street.
The ground floor has a slender shop-front supported by cast-iron columns, while the upper sections are finished in ashlar.
On the London Road elevation, giant pilaster strips extend through the first and second floors, supporting a floral swagged frieze and cornice. Inset pilastered panels frame recessed windows on each floor, and panelled pilasters outline the windows on the third floor, topped by a die parapet. A large wallhead dormer with a crowning stack is also present.
The James Morrison Street elevation features bipartite windows, with one bay containing single lights. Pilasters frame the bays on the first and second floors, and there are two wallhead dormers with stacks. The building has a corner pavilion roof, and all roofs are slated.
