Warehouses, West Quay, Port Glasgow

The warehouses at West Quay in Port Glasgow date back to the 19th century and have undergone significant alterations. Originally constructed as a single-storey warehouse in the first half of the 19th century, it was raised by an additional storey in the second half of the century. The building features a mix of rubble, with coursed and squared stone at the ground level and roughly coursed stone above, complemented by ashlar details. The roof is an M-shaped slate design with axial ventilators.

Facing the quay, there are three wide segmental-arched openings, which originally had outward-opening double doors but have since been altered. On the left side, part of the window margin remains, and there is a large slapping on the east flank. The building has cast-iron ogee guttering and a central tier of tall cast-iron columns that support a steel beam in the roof valley. To the southeast, there is a smaller warehouse range, likely built before the larger section was heightened, which features a timber roof.
