Description
210-212 Main Street in Wishaw is a three-storey, four-bay tenement building designed by James Cowie in 1898, featuring a slightly asymmetrical rectangular plan in a neo-Mannerist style. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked, droved red sandstone with ashlar margins. Notable architectural details include a cill course between the ground and first floors, a cornice, and a scalloped parapet.
On the southwest elevation facing Main Street, there are modern shop fronts at ground level, with a square-headed pend in the first bay. The first floor features slightly canted windows in the first and third bays, and above these are Venetian windows, all framed by cavetto moulded arches. The second bay has a bipartite, mullioned window topped with a broken pediment, while a square-headed window breaks the eaves at the second floor.
The northeast elevation was not visible in 2001, and both the northwest and southeast elevations are obscured by adjacent buildings.
The windows are predominantly plate glass timber sash and case, with modern double glazing in the first bay. The attic storey bays have finialed piended roofs, covered with grey slates and lead flashing, and the building features cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 2001.
