40-5o Wilson Street, County Buildings And Courthouse
40-5o Wilson Street, County Buildings And Courthouse, Category B listed courthouse in Glasgow, United Kingdom
The County Buildings and Courthouse at Wilson Street exhibits a mix of architectural styles from the 19th century, featuring friezes and decorative tiling.
Architects Clarke & Bell constructed this judicial building between 1842 and 1859, with additional sections including the Merchant's House part completed around 1855.
The courthouse holds an essential role in Glasgow's legal system, representing the evolution of judicial practices and local governance throughout its existence.
The building maintains protection under Scottish law since December 1970, requiring specific permits for any structural modifications or renovations to preserve its character.
The structure combines three distinct sections: the original County Building, the Merchant's House section, and an 1892 extension, each marking different construction phases.
