Empty, and in poor repair. A simple, yet imposing building strikingly set on a corner site within the railway arches of the elevated railway. Echoes the 'Barrieres' designs of Ledoux, in its severe, well-detailed classical and monumental form. Smith notes that the original line of arches was widened in 1900 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway to form a high level four platform station called Eglinton Street Station, later becoming Cumberland Street Station. An important part of Glasgow's railway history in an area which has changed considerably in the last 50 years.
