59 Bell Street in Glasgow is a commercial building designed by John Carrick and A B Macdonald around 1890, with alterations and an attic storey added by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers in 1908. This four-storey building, featuring an attic, is constructed of painted ashlar and has a channelled first floor, with a cast-iron frame.

The building has a 12-bay elevation facing Bell Street and a 9-bay elevation on Walls Street, both exhibiting similar architectural details. The ground floor showcases good cast-iron framed shopfronts from the 1908 alterations. The end bays are slightly advanced and flanked by pilasters on each floor, with tripartite windows. The remaining windows are single light, with architraves on the first and second floors. All windows have been replaced with sash and case designs, featuring plate glass upper sashes and two-pane lower sashes. A cill band runs along the first floor, and there is a deep mutule cornice above the second eaves cornice. The building is topped with slated mansard roofs that include projecting aedicular pedimented dormers and round arched windows, along with some tall square stacks. The end bays feature French-style slated roofs that are pavilioned at an angle.
