Description
1-2 Kemp Street in Hamilton is a three-storey tenement built in 1904, showcasing the 'Glasgow style'. It is located on a corner site and features shops on the ground floor, along with an angle turret. The building is constructed from cream sandstone ashlar and includes a partially corbelled cornice at the ground floor, as well as a wallhead course. The windows are a mix of single, bipartite, and three-light canted designs, all with original sash and case glazing; the bottom sections have plate glass, while the top sections feature four- and six-pane designs. The chimney stacks are corniced and topped with uniform terracotta cans.
On the Quarry Street elevation, there is a modern shopfront at the ground floor. Above, a single window is flanked by two corniced bipartite windows on the first floor, with a similar arrangement on the second floor, although those windows are not corniced and have diamond-patterned aprons. To the right, there is an angle bay with a central door that retains remnants of a decorative pediment, although the doorpiece has been removed. An oriel window on the upper floors is rounded at the first floor, with decorative corbels supporting a polygonal second floor and a blocked parapet. The octagonal turret is set back and features oval windows and a finialled domical roof, with outshot stacks on both sides rising from the ground floor cornice through the wallhead.
The Kemp Street elevation also has a modern shopfront at the ground floor, with a single pedimented window on the first floor and another single window above. To the right, there is a two-storey canted window with a raised parapet.
The interior of the building has not been seen.
