Description
9-15 Burns Statue Square is a three-storey and attic, four-bay tenement building with commercial premises on the ground floor, designed by William Cowie in collaboration with J and HV Eaglesham in 1900. The exterior is finished in polished red ashlar and features a cornice above the shopfront, a modillion lower cornice, and a mutulated upper cornice.
On the southwest elevation, the entrance includes a single timber door on the outer left, a two-leaf timber door to the left, and a glazed timber door on the outer right, with shop windows in a modern arcaded shopfront between them. The fenestration is regular, with canted outer bays and single windows in the inner bays on the first and second floors. The attic features segmental-pedimented dormers on the outer right and left, and a consoled balcony on the second floor that rises above the eaves. There are two single windows at the centre of the attic and a central, pilastered, round-arched moulded stack that rises through the cornice.
The upper sashes of the timber sash and case windows predominantly have four and six panes, while the outer left and right attic windows have modern glazing. The roof is a grey slate mansard with stone skews, and it includes corniced stacks at the wallhead and gablehead, along with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
