Description
The Scottish Power Building, originally known as the Wallace Scott Tailoring Institute, was designed by Sir J J Burnet and Norman Dick and constructed between 1913 and 1916, with an extension added from 1919 to 1922. It was initially described as a "garden factory on American inspired lines."
This monumental building features a four to five-storey block arranged around a rectangular courtyard. It has a frame construction with red brick cladding and ashlar detailing. The ground floor is treated as a raised basement, with giant pilaster strips above. Originally, there were polychrome panels between the floors, but the windows have since been altered to full depth. The building has a flat roof, and there is a main steel access bridge to the northeast, designed by engineers Kyle, Dennison and Laing in 1913.
The extensive formal gardens surrounding the building have also undergone alterations.
