INTERIOR: ground floor, comprehensively altered to form pub. 1st floor, not seen (2004).
A good, stylish example of the Art Deco tearooms which were once prolific in Glasgow. James Campbell and Walter Hubbard had adjacent shop premises on the ground floor and the tea and lunch room with separate smoking room was on the upper floor. Hubbard's closed in 1970 and the ground floor is now run as a pub and the upper floor as a separate nightclub. Buildings of Scotland surmises that the unusual low 2-storey height was dictated by uncharted mineworkings making the soil unable to support a taller structure. The Dean of Guild plans note that the existing premises on the site were to be partly demolished to make way for the tea rooms but it is not clear how much of this earlier fabric was incorporated.
