The row of buildings was built between 1849 and 1852 to a design by the Scottish architects Alexander Kirkland and John Bryce . Originally, the complex took up the entire south side of the square. Of the two corner projections , however, the western one has meanwhile been demolished and replaced by a new building. Between 1976 and 1978 the row of buildings was heavily redesigned. Over time, the row of buildings has been the subject of three specialist architectural publications.
description
The row of buildings is in the center of Glasgow near Glasgow Central train station . Originally the row of buildings had a symmetrical structure with central and corner projections, which was abolished by demolishing the western projection. The east strisalite is five, the remaining three building sections seven axes each. The shop windows of the shops and restaurants on the ground floor are new. Corinthian pilasters divide the surfaces between the round-arched shop windows vertically. Cantilevered cornices suspend the windows on the ground floor. Simple cornices on consoles in relief suspect the windows on the first floor. The final cornice above the third floor is ornamented with tooth cuts and small lion heads. A stone balustrade runs over it . The ten-axis-wide continuation along Hope Street is designed analogously.
