Description
250 St Vincent Street in Glasgow is a substantial five-storey building with a basement, originally built as a hotel around 1882 and later remodeled internally. This classical structure features a nine by nine bay layout, with a three by two bay corner section that is set forward. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, with a channelled appearance at the ground floor.
A central portico is supported by coupled Corinthian columns and features a cornice with a solid parapet. Above this, there is a segmental pedimented aedicule with scroll consoles and a sculpted tympanum. The windows are sash and case, primarily set within architraves. The canted bay on the corner rises from the ground to the first floor, showcasing elaborately architraved windows at the ground level and column mullions at the first floor, topped with an independent modillion cornice and a blocking course.
On the ground floor, there are six windows facing St Vincent Street, which have a recessed, fluted frieze that continues for two bays along Douglas Street. The remaining seven windows on Douglas Street are plain. The first-floor windows are set on a cill band and feature console cornices, with aprons on the windows in the northern Douglas Street bays. The second-floor windows have a cill band and are consoled and corniced, with tripartite designs above the canted bay, topped with segmental pediments. The fourth-floor windows have lugged architraves. The western section of the building has a mansard roof, and the second bay from the north on Douglas Street is blind.
