518 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow

518 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow is a four-storey, three-bay office building designed by John Keppie of Honeyman and Keppie in 1903, showcasing an Early Renaissance style. Attached to this building at the first floor level is an early 19th-century rear building.

The elevation facing Sauchiehall Street features sash and case windows on the first and second floors, with eight-pane glazing in the upper sash and two-pane glazing in the lower. The first floor has a mutule cornice, and the windows are adorned with curvilinear sculpted architraves that include keystones and sculpted pilasters. The central bay has a shaped design, while the outer bays feature semi-circular shapes. On the second floor, there is a continuous moulded cill band, with polygonal piers flanking the outer bays that have sculpted corbels. The windows on this floor are architraved and corbelled, and the cornice transitions into semi-circular bracketed podiums on either side of the central bay, which support two sculpted seated figures. The third floor consists of three blind bays with architraved panels and a pilastraded central bay. The shaped gable is decorated with a sculpted relief that supports a one-bay architraved aedicule with a keystoned, semi-circular head. The building is topped with a plain eaves frieze and cornice.

The rear building is a three-storey, three-bay house constructed of painted ashlar. It features a ground floor band and a moulded cill band on the second floor. All windows are sash and case, with T-pane designs that have eight panes in the upper sash. The architraves on the first floor drop to the band. The roof is slate, with straight skews and two gable stacks.

Inside the rear building, the first-floor drawing room includes a column screen and a cast-iron fireplace from the Carron Company, featuring an Adamitic surround.
