This beautiful traditional apartment is held within an eye-catching red sandstone tenement which faces South & benefits from a desirable position at the entrance to Dowanhill. Constructed between 1902 and 1904, this instantly recognisable building was designed by renowned Glasgow architect David Barclay who is also responsible for the design of forty schools & educational buildings including the David Stow building at Jordanhill college & Glasgow and West Technical college, several beautiful churches and was a Governor of Glasgow School of Art. As such, it is no surprise that this particular tenement, which has dual frontage towards Highburgh Road & Beaumont Gate, is one of the very best examples in the city. Indeed, it is a demonstration of the very best of the tenemental architecture, which Glasgow is so well known for. One of the building’s defining characteristics are it’s beautiful five pane bow window formations – a design element only seen in a handful of streets in our city. As you enter the beautiful hardwood communal entrance door with security system, the building continues to impress with broad, spectacular shared halls and stairways that lead off to the upper levels. The hallways are adorned with hardwood panelling and at entrance level there are inlaid polished stone tiles which upon close inspection have traces of seashells embedded within the surface.
