The former Camphill United Presbyterian Chuch (now the Queen's Park Baptist Church) in Glasgow. Designed by William Leiper in the 1870s and completed in 1883, it also features sculptures by one of the Mossmans.
Another rather unique Glasgow tenement, this time on the corner of Langside Road and Queen's Drive on the city's Southside. Designed by W.M Whyte in a French Renaissance style, but with a statue of Liberty on the top, it was built in 1885.
You'll often hear it said there are five statues of Liberty in Glasgow. However, in reality, this is the only one as all the others are different allegorical female figures.
Camphill House in Queen's Park on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed in a Classical style, possibly by David Hamilton, it was built around 1798 for the cotton manufacturer Robert Thomson. Thomson owned the Adelphi Cotton Works in Hutchesontown which is thought to have been the first factory in Glasgow to manufacture cotton goods. Originally built as a country house, it has now been engulfed by the expanding city.
Queen's Park Railings on the Southside of Glasgow. I'm not too sure why one is so obviously different from the others, but I suspect it may be due to the need to make a repair to a listed structure clearly discernable from the original parts.
Does anyone know the story behind these tiles about Alice? I run into different ones from time to time on walls around the Southside of Glasgow, mostly in the vicinity of Queen's Park.
Cleaned and uncleaned tenements on Albert Avenue in the Queen's Park area of Glasgow. Until a cleaning programme was initiated in the 1970s, most of Glasgow's traditional sandstone buildings were black from many decades of accumulated soot and grime. These tenements show what buildings looked like before and after they were cleaned.
The former Queen's Park Synagogue on Falloch Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in the 1920s, it was designed in a Romanesque style by the rather wonderfully named Ninian MacWhannel. It was converted into flats in 2008.
Provost's Lamp above the entrance to a tenement on Prince Edward Street in the Queen's Park area of Glasgow. Designed by William Sugg and Co, it looks like this may have originally been lit by gas rather than electricity.
The former Camphill United Presbyterian Chuch (now the Queen's Park Baptist Church) in Glasgow. Designed by William Leiper in the 1870s and completed in 1883, it also features sculptures by one of the Mossmans.
I love this gable and dormers on the central pavilion of W.M. Whyte's 1880s French Renaissance style tenement building on Queen's Drive on the Southside of Glasgow.
Today's view across Glasgow and beyond from the flagpole in Queen's Park on the Southside of the city, with the slightest dusting of snow just visible on the highest parts of the Campsies.
One of the sculptures in the Scottish Poetry Rose Garden in Queen's Park on the Southside of Glasgow. Opened in 2003, it celebrates the poets and poetry of Scotland written in English, Scots and Gaelic.
Love this little building on Victoria Road on the Southside of Glasgow. It's just so different from the surrounding sandstone tenements and townhouses, yet it still doesn't seem too out of place.
Looking out across an Autumnal Glasgow from Queen's Park in yesterday's sunshine. I love picking out all the different historic towers rising above the tenements which you can see from this view point.
