Description

Plain four-storey "Thomsonesque" corner tenement dating from around the mid 1860s, with shops at ground, polished (stone-cleaned) ashlar above, pilastered window jambs/mullions at first floor, continuous moulding at second floor stepped over windows. Most of the original plate glass sashes have been replaced with uPVC windows (2024); cornice; stacks mostly rebuilt, modern tile roof.

Statement of Interest

The tenement forms part of a larger block that was originally known as Eglinton Terrace, which occupies the west side of Victoria Road, from Allison Street to Prince Edward Street. The 2-acre site was feud to a William Menzies in 1863, (Title deed for 3/1 404 Victoria Road, 2023) and by 1864 it was being advertised as having 'superior houses of three and four rooms and kitchens' to let (Glasgow Herald, 11 April 1864), with shops advertised by 1865 (Glasgow Herald, 6 February 1865). First listed in the Glasgow Street Directory of 1866, the block was known as Eglinton Terrace until 1877-78 when it was renumbered as part of Victoria Road, and there was further renumbering in 1890-91 (Glasgow Street Directories 1869-1893).

The corresponding corner block to the north at 400, 404, 408 Victoria Road and 124 Allison Street is also listed (category B, ref: LB32464) and forms part of the block formerly known as Eglinton Terrace.
