This is a well-detailed former bank building by the well-known architect John Burnet which adds significantly to the streetscape of Bridgeton Cross. It was originally the Glasgow Savings Bank and was superseded by the later building at no 42 Bridgeton Cross (see separate listing). Bank buildings were often built to publicise the wealth and status of the bank and the round-arched niche, oriel window and mansard roof of this building set it apart from other buildings in the area.
John Burnet (1814-1901) was an architect based in Glasgow and had a prolific practice.
