description
Construction of the row of buildings began in 1833. The Scottish architect John Baird probably provided the design . In the early 1930s, one of the buildings was rebuilt based on a design by Andrew Robertson . The building 185, which housed the Glasgow Art Club , should be emphasized . Charles Rennie Mackintosh , among others, is responsible for its elaborate interior design .
The three-story row of buildings completely occupies the square between Bath Street and Bath Lane and Douglas Street and Blythswood Street. The north-facing front facade is 24 axes wide. Except for a few details, the facades of the individual houses are constructed identically. The masonry consists of polished ashlar stones. It is slightly rusticated on the ground floor . On the left are the main entrances, which are mostly designed with Ionic columns. If this is not the case, the portal closes with a simple cornice that rests on consoles . The windows on the ground floor close with flat segmental arches with keystones . The elongated windows on the first floor, however, are suspected of having simple cornices on consoles . At number 183 there is a rounded canyon with Corinthian columns.
