I love this Art Nouveau style version of the Glasgow Coat of Arms on one of the buildings of the old Lambhill Street School in the Kinning Park area of the city.
Is this the best gushet building in Glasgow? A gushet building is one constructed on a narrow strip of land at a junction between two roads (in this case Paisley Road West and Govan Road). Designed in a Renaissance style by Bruce and Hay, it was built in the 1880s as the Ogg Brothers Drapery Warehouse and Department Store.
One of the best things about living in Glasgow is turning a corner and finding yourself looking up at a roof like this!
The former Ogg Brothers Department Store at Paisley Road Toll was designed by Bruce and Hay, and was built in the 1880s. It's topped by the Spirit of Commerce and Industry, who is perhaps better known as the Kinning Park Angel, the Angel of the South, or simply Mrs. Ogg.
Love the font and the craquelure on this sign painted by one of the doors on the former our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School in Kinning Park in Glasgow
The former Our Lady and St Margaret Primary School on Stanley Street in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow. Built on a palazzo-scale, it was designed by Bruce and Hay in 1910. Interestingly, the playground for this school was on its roof!
Cart entrance to the former Kinning Park Colour Works on Milnpark Road in Glasgow, featuring the original 1890s doors and a fantastic polychromatic brickwork archway.
