Tennent Memorial Block, Western Infirmary, 38 Church Street, Glasgow

The Tennent Memorial Block, located at 38 Church Street in Glasgow, is a three-storey, eleven-bay interwar Beaux-Arts medical building designed by Norman A Dick of Burnet Son and Dick in 1935, with sculpture by A Dawson. The building has a rectangular plan arranged in a 2-7-2 configuration, with the central bays both recessed and raised. It is constructed of snecked, squared rubble with ashlar dressings, quoins, and a plinth. A moulded cill course runs along the first floor, and there is a corniced eaves course that is raised over the central seven bays.

The central entrance features a lintel relief tablet that reads "THE TENNENT MEMORIAL 1935," flanked by escutcheons supported on barley-sugar columns with richly sculpted capitals. Above the entrance is a relieving arch made of ashlar blocks, adorned with a carved key block and flanked by seated figures, leading to an elliptically-headed window. The building has regular fenestration with rectangular windows in moulded surrounds, and those on the first floor include relieving arches. A relief tablet is positioned above the single outer bays.

The windows are metal casement types with glazing bars, featuring eight lights on the ground floor and four lights horizontally above. Some of the windows on the first and second floors have lying pane glazing.

Inside, the building has a plain interior with some later alterations that have created office and patient accommodation. A central stair opens off the lobby located behind the main entrance.

The boundary walls consist of stepped snecked rubble topped with ashlar coping, complemented by wrought-iron railings.
