description
Construction of the building began in 1875. The Scottish architect Alexander Thomson was responsible for the design . However, he died in the same year. Robert Turnbull supervised the work until it was completed in 1878 .
The four-story row of buildings extends along Allison Street in south Glasgow between Daisy Street and Garturk Street . It is designed in the Greek classicism typical of Thomson's architecture . The south-facing front facade consists of polished stone blocks. The detailing to the left of the center is simpler. Wide pilasters divide the façades vertically on the ground floor. Sculptured cornices suspect the windows on the first and second floors. The windows on the third floor are decorated with pilasters and an anthemium frieze between the windows. Originally the roofs were covered with slate, which however was partly replaced by modern tiles. The eaves chimney is designed with acroteria .
