The top of the tower of the magnificent Scots Baronial style former Crosshall and Govanhill Burgh Hall on Cathcart Road in Glasgow. Designed by Frank Stirrat, it was built in 1879.
The Shed night club on Langside Avenue on the Southside of Glasgow. Originally called Marlborough House, after the first Duke of Marlborough, it was built around 1920 as a venue for social events, such as weding receptions, dances and dinners.
The remains of Lennox Castle on the outskirts of Glasgow. Designed by David Hamilton in the syle of a Norman castle, it was built in the 1830s. Between 1927 and 2002, it was used as a hospital before being abandoned. It was destroyed by a fire in 2008.
This is a common story for former NHS buildings around Glasgow (I know of at least six similar examples), and you have to wonder how many tens of millions of pounds have been lost by this approach, which seems to have started in the 1990s, of simply abandoning old hospital buildings once they were no longer being used.
Tudoresque terraced townhouses on Highburgh Road in the West End of Glasgow. The ones in the foreground were designed by P. MacGregor Chalmers and were built in 1899. The ones in the distance are modern ones added to complete the terrace.
Love this variation on the polychromatic brick style of industrial building, using a mix of glazed and unglazed bricks. These windows are on the former sawmill offices on Craighall Road in Glasgow designed by George Bell and constructed in 1893.
@thisismyglasgow I suspect that this was done partly for economy. Glazed bricks would have been more expensive, but are easier to keep clean. You probably want to keep your view out of the window clean, but the general wall face is less important. The decorative effect is a bonus.
The distinctive verdigris-covered spires of the former Jordanhill College of Education in the west of Glasgow. Designed by Hugh and David Barclay, it was built in 1913.
The Apostles, St. Andrews Cathedral, Honolulu. Currently, 6 of the 12 are featured. I could only find the names of 4, Andrew, Peter, John & James. If you know the other two, please let me know.
Following yesterday's post, I found myself looking through some other photos from the same trip and came across this fine entry for #FensterFreitag. What a busy, blue feat of carpentry it all is. Would we call that a Moorish style, I wonder?
