Description
The building at 15 Millbrae Road in Glasgow is a Depot designed by Sam Bunton between 1937 and 1939. It features a Modern Movement style with a combination of single and two-storey interlocking cubic blocks, set on a raised basement due to the sloping ground at the rear. The base course is made of tall silver-black brick, while the upper sections are constructed from silver-grey bricks, with grey brick dressings around the main windows and lintels of the smaller ones. The wallhead is capped with concrete.
On the west elevation facing Millbrae Road, the two-storey block has an advanced lower bay to the left, which includes a glass brick stair window that turns the corner and a tall, narrow stair window to the right. The wallhead features overhanging coping. A deep square brick porch canopy projects from the re-entrant angle formed with the higher bays to the right, supported by blue glazed and banded pilotis and topped with slate coping. The door is framed by a stepped grey brick surround. The higher bay has a window band at ground level that turns the corner to the south, lighting a public office, and a tall three-light window on the first floor with flush brick detailing above the center light. To the outer left, there is a recessed single-storey workshop block connected by a curved projecting link, with a window band wrapping around the corner of this block.
The east elevation, which faces Overdale Avenue, features the main block at the center, with a projecting stair block that has a tall, narrow window to the left and a single-storey section advanced to the right. The raised basement includes a door and slit windows due to the falling ground. A single-storey garage block projects to the left, backing onto the workshop.
On the north elevation, the two-storey main block on the right has a tripartite-single window arrangement on both the ground and first floors. To the left, there are tall single-storey bays that contain store rooms. The side elevation of the stair block is recessed to the left, while the outer left section shows the north elevation of the garage, which features a tall doorway and a window band.
The south elevation includes two-storey bays to the left with window bands on both floors, while the right side has a single-storey workshop and garage with garage doors to the left, flanked by window bands.
The building features metal framed, horizontal-pane windows. The interior has not been seen.
