Description
17-19 Eskbank Road is a two-storey corner building dated 1906, featuring a shop on the ground floor and a Glasgow Style corner tower. The structure is made of red sandstone ashlar with a rendered geometric tile facing on the shop front to the west and south, while the east elevation is harled. It has a timber modillioned eaves course.
On the west elevation facing Eskbank Road, there is a bipartite window on the first floor to the left, and a corniced panel inscribed "1906" to the right. The ground floor has a window and door to the left, with modern display windows to the right and a modern fascia.
The corner bay features a canted display window at ground level, and a corniced canted tripartite window on the first floor, which has a keystoned centre light and a moulded cill. Above the first floor, the building rises to a turret with a garland and shield-detailed eaves course, topped with a felted domed roof that has corniced eaves and a tapering finial.
On the south elevation facing Croft Street, there is a door to the right and modern display windows to the left. A window is located to the right on the first floor, with a tall shouldered corniced stack to the left featuring a decorative corbel. This elevation is lower to the right and has three windows at ground level, along with a bipartite window and four windows on the first floor.
The north elevation shows rubble above the adjoining building, No 15 Eskbank Road, while the east elevation is harled above the adjoining buildings, Nos 1-5 Croft Street. The building features plate glass glazing in sash and case windows, with some having two-pane upper sashes. It has coped skews, gablehead stacks to the north and east, grey-green slates, and a steeply pitched roof to the west, which is piended behind the turret. The original rainwater goods are still in place.
