description
The three-story row of buildings stands on Ruskin Terrace off the Great Western Road ( A82 ) northwest of Glasgow city center. Row 1–16 Buckingham Terrace extends directly to the west . The row of buildings was probably built between 1855 and 1858. It is designed in a classical style with neo-renaissance details.
The row of buildings consists of mirror-symmetrical, uniform houses, whose south-facing front facades are each three axes wide. The masonry of polished ashlar is rusticated in the area of the ground floor . Pilasters divide the facade vertically. The entrance areas of neighboring houses on the outer axes are grouped. They are designed with Corinthian columns and pilasters. They carry a gable with a balcony with a stone balustrade . The flanking windows have exits with ornamented, cast-iron balustrades. Triangular gables suspect the windows above the entrance door, while the other windows on the first floor close with simple cornices on consoles . The second floor is designed with a simple window cornice . The facade closes with a cornice with a tooth cut .
The two final buildings are six and five axes wide. They are largely designed in the same way, but segment-arched gables suspect all the windows on the first floor.
