Love this red sandstone tenement on the corner of Kildrostan Street and Terregles Avenue, especially the tradional ground floor commercial space.

Love the barge-boarded gable and the brattishing above the bay window below it on this 1880s villa in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
Love the quality of the craftsmanship on this sandstone sculpture of Jesus as a child on the remains of the 1891 Pollokshields-Gelencairn Church in Glasgow. How on earth they managed to carve the folds in material quite so exquisitely, I really don't know.
One of the many grand Victorian villas in the western part of Pollokshields in Glasgow. This is a reminder that this area of the city started life as a carefully planned garden suburb. Created in 1851, it was one of the first such garden suburbs in the UK. I particularly like the central dormer window on this particular villa.
The former Miller and Lang Print Works on Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Built in 1902 and designed by D.B. Dobson, it's one of the most distinctive Art Nouveau commercial building in the city. The dragon on the drainpipe on the right-hand side is a particularly impressive touch.
Love the corner tower on this red sandstone tenement on Melville Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
Saint Mungo on the facade of Saint Ninian's Church on Pollokshaws Road on the Southside of Glasgow. You can tell it's Saint Mungo because of the dead fish with the ring in its mouth at the base of the statue. The metalwork beside him are attachments for the overhead electrical wires which used to power the city's trams.
Love the bow windows on these blonde sandstone Victorian tenements on Glencairn Drive in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
Persimmon fruit tiles in a tenement close in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
I know I've posted this dragon before, but it's so cute, I couldn't resist posting it again. It can be found on the 1902 Art Nouveau style Miller and Lang Print Works at 50 Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area Glasgow, and by far it's my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in the city.
Pollokshields District Library on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed in an Edwardian Baroque style by Thomas Gilmour, with revisions by Alexander B. McDonald, it was opened in 1907.
These sculptural elements on Pollokshields Library on the Southside of Glasgow are just brilliant, especially the humanoid face on the right.
By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow.
