7-13 Duke Street, Glasgow

7-13 Duke Street in Glasgow is a two-storey commercial building, likely designed by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers around 1905. This Free Style structure is constructed from red ashlar sandstone by the City Improvement Trust. The ground floor retains its original shop fronts, featuring a central close and timber door pediments, with a pend located to the right. Above the ground floor, there is a consoled, moulded cornice. The first floor consists of four symmetrical bays, separated by fluted pilasters with Ionic capitals, which flank segmentally arched windows that have variously carved surrounds with keystones and shoulders. There is a moulded cornice above a frieze adorned with bolection moulded blocks, and a parapet with ashlar dies, although the original balustrade has been regrettably replaced with modern infill. The first floor also features modern glazing.
