Clothing Factory, 10-12 Montrose Street, Glasgow

The building at 10-12 Montrose Street in Glasgow is a substantial clothing factory designed by architect James Thomson and dated 1898. It is constructed in the Free Style using polished red sandstone and features an iron-framed structure. The factory consists of six storeys above a basement, with an attic, and has five bays facing Ingram Street and fourteen bays along Montrose Street. The end bays are slightly advanced and wider than the others.

The windows are primarily single light in the end bays and bipartite in the others. There is a centrally located door on Ingram Street with a shouldered head, and the windows on the ground and first floors have segmental heads, all adorned with roll moulded architraves. The windows are sash and case with plate glass and two-pane glazing.

At the western angle bays on both elevations, there are two-bay balconies supported by corbels. The second floor features pilasters, while the third floor has Roman Doric columns. The building is topped with a deep eaves cornice that is corbelled over the end bays and a deep parapet. The dormers at the end bays have Jacobean shaped gables, while the attic windows are grouped in threes, forming a pilastrade. Diagonal stacks are present at the end bays, and the roofs are slated with a pavilion design.
