The recently renovated Renaissance style former Central Thread Agency on Bothwell Street in Glasgow. Designed by Hugh and David Barclay, it was built in the 1890s.
The townhouses of Park Gardens overlooking Kelvingrove Park in the West End of Glasgow. Designed by Charles Wilson, they were built in the 1850s.
A beautiful curving terrace of blonde sandstone 1870s townhouses in on Westbourne Gardens in the West End of Glasgow.
The southern facade of the Gallery of Modern Art in Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow. Much of this visible exterior of this building is part of the 1820s extensions added by the architect David Hamilton. However, hidden within is the Palladian-style Cunninghame Mansion, built in 1778 for for the tobacco and sugar merchant William Cunninghame of Lainshaw when it was on the western edge of the city.
Styled after an ancient Greek temple, this is the former Royal Bank of Scotland on Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow. It was designed by Archibald Elliot and was built in 1827.
Dundas House on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Designed in a Free Style by John A. Campbell, this elevator building, it was constructed in 1898 for the British Workmen's and General Assurance Company. This one of a number of tall, skinny elevator buildings (meaning it had an elevator running up the middle of it) designed to fit the narrow lots on Buchanan Street.
The glorious Charing Cross Mansions in Glasgow. Designed by J.J. Burnet in an early French Renaissance style and constructed in 1891, this building always looks especially good on a sunny afternoon.
The brilliantly named Kelvinside Artistic Stationery Works on Herbert Street in the west of Glasgow.
The former Lansdowne Parish Church on Great Western Road in Glasgow. Built in 1863 and designed by John Honeyman, it has what may well be the skinniest spire in Scotland.
A blonde sandstone tenement on the corner of King Street and Parnie Street in Glasgow city centre.
The former John Ross Memorial Church for the Deaf, 158 West Regent Street, Glasgow. Designed by Norman Dick and completed 1931, this is a beautiful building, with a lot of intricate carvings of animals around the door.
A red sandstone tenement on the corner of Pollokshaws Road and Minard Road on the Southside of Glasgow.
A pair of rather beautiful semi-detached Victorian villas on Winton Drive in the west of Glasgow. I particularly like the French Renaissance style roofs topped with brattishing and the dormer windows.
Bridgeton Cross Mansions on the corner of Dalmarnock Road and Main Street in Glasgow. It was designed by John Cunningham and was built in 1896.
The former New Bridgegate Church in Dixon Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed in a rather wonderful Scots Gothic style by Thomson, Sandilands and Macleod, it was built in the early 1920s.
A red sandstone corner tenement, topped with a candle-snuffer roof, on Cathcard Road in the Crosshill area of Glasgow.
The better preserved, and still in use, Western Range of Charles Wilson's 1840s Royal Lunatic Asylum in Glasgow, which later became Gartnavel Royal Hospital. The now-abandoned plainer Eastern Range was built for poorer patients, while the more ornate Tudor style Western Range was built for the richer patients.
