Description
21-23 Burns Statue Square is a three-storey and attic, three-bay terraced tenement building with commercial premises on the ground floor, constructed in 1894 by J and HV Eaglesham. The building is made of red ashlar and features a shopfront cornice, string moulding to the frieze between the first and second floors (with the upper section forming the second-floor cill course), a cornice, and a parapet.
The first floor has columns that delineate the central openings, while strip pilasters frame the outer margins of the remaining openings on the upper floors, extending up to the parapet. A consoled, balustraded balcony is present at the central bay on the second floor.
On the southwest (entrance) elevation, there is an off-centre timber door, with two glazed entrance doors to the shop on the left, featuring letterbox fanlights and flanking shop windows. To the right, there is a two-leaf glazed timber door to another shop, also with flanking shop windows. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, with tripartite windows in the bay to the left, bipartite windows in the bay to the right, and quadripartite windows in the central bay. The attic contains four dormers, with a three-light dormer on the outer left and two-light dormers elsewhere.
Dominant banded wallhead stacks flank the central bay. The ground floor has shop windows, while the upper floors feature plate glass timber sash and case windows, with modern glazing in the attic. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are stone skews, corniced wallhead and gablehead stacks, and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
