21 Jardine Street. Lanarkshire Regimental Drill Hall, Glasgow

Designed by Robert Alexander Bryden and built in 1894 the building is a large 2-storey and basement, irregular 8-bay, with Tudor style detailing Regimental Drill Hall Headquarters sited on falling ground opposite an open green square. It is predominantly built in red brick with Tudor half-timber detailing on the upper floor on dentil brackets wrapped around the principal (east) entrance and north elevation. The principal elevation has a pair of central gables flanking a corbelled chimney stack with a dated regimental crest inscribed 'REV'. To the right is a raised entrance door with a roll-moulded and corniced doorpiece. The north elevation has a broad central castellated brick section rising above the roofline with a decorative mullioned and transomed 12-light window. The rear elevation is 3-storey and largely symmetrical, with a pair of plainer central gablets and a double height canted bay to the right. The window openings are predominantly tall and narrow, the ground floor windows in the front elevation are shallow-arched with shaped brick mouldings.

There are boarded timber doors and timber sash and case windows with two panes to the lower sashes. There are steeply pitched slate roofs with clay ridge tiles and cast iron rainwater goods.

The interior of the building was seen in 2015 and it has a good decorative scheme. There is a large entrance hall, with walls tiled to dado height and a broad stairway with decorative cast iron bannisters. On the first floor the Sergeant's Mess is timber panelled, with fluted and capitalled columnettes and niches, with an integral timber service canteen and two decorative stone fire surrounds with tiled inserts. The panelling extends to ceiling height with a decorative dentilled cornice under a combed ceiling. On the top floor is a large open hall with timber floors, dado panelling, curved metal roof trusses and decorative metal ventilation grilles. There is also an attic stair with fine barley twist bannisters leading to a viewing platform with timber bannisters overlooking the hall.
