Warehouses, 65-73 James Watt Street, Glasgow

This building is a tall classical U-plan warehouse constructed around 1855, featuring five storeys over a raised basement and comprising 13 bays arranged in a 1-4-3-4-1 pattern. The ashlar frontage includes a wide band above the plinth and a channelled ground floor. The end bays and three central bays are adorned with giant Roman Doric pilasters, which support a central pediment that encloses a barrel, an anchor, and a packing case, topped with a giant anthemion. The central entrance is semi-circular headed, with voussoirs and a keystone, and features a boarded and iron-banded two-leaf door with a wicket. All windows have cills and plain arrises, and there is an entablature with block pediments on the end bays. The rear elevation is symmetrical, consistent with the U-plan design.

Inside, the building has timber beams and floors that are supported by cast-iron columns, with later additions of pairs of ribs for subdividing the store. The warehouse has been converted into flatted accommodation, now known as Atlantic Apartments.
