description
The four-story buildings are located at the junction of Garnethill Street and Hill Street northwest of central Glasgow. Opposite is the Breadalbane Terrace . The main facade of the classicist building is 18 axes wide. It is built from stone blocks, while rubble stone was used on the side and rear facades . In the area of the ground floor, the masonry around the arched windows is rusticated . As on the lattice windows on the first floor, triangular gables on consoles suspect the six entrance doors. The windows on the second floor are more simply crowned . Window cornices divide the facade horizontally. The facade closes with a cornice . The seven-axis-wide facade along Garnethill Street is largely identical in design.
