The building was built between 1897 and 1898. The design was designed by the Scottish architect James Miller. In 1901, it was discussed in the book of Glasgow Contemporaries at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century.

The three-storey mansarded building is located on the Great Western Road (A82) near the Great Western Road Bridge across the Kelvin. Stylistically, it has Arts-and-Crafts motifs in the style of the Glasgow School. The north-faced front façade along the Great Western Road is almost symmetrical; however, individual components break the symmetry. Shop shops with flat shop windows are also provided. The masonry is made of red, polished sandstone. On the upper floors various oriels appear on cantilevers. The windows are usually coupled to twin windows with stone window crosses. Instead of the elongated windows, round arch windows can be found on the central axis in the first floor. Pilasters flank numerous windows. Several simple cornices subdivide the facade horizontally. From the edges round collar corners. They close with slanting curved domes. Single-level Edit source text Weblinks Edit sourcetext
