Luma Tower on the southside of Glasgow.
Designed by Cornelius Armour in a Steamline Moderne style and built in 1938, it's one of the best preserved Art Deco buildings in the city. It was originally constructed as the Glasgow headquarters of the British Luma Co-operative Electric Lamp Society.

The B Listed former Leyland Motor Company building on Salkeld Street in Glasgow. Built in 1933, this forgotten Art Deco gem is in a dismal state. In particular, the original curved glass windows in the tower are long gone. Unsurprisingly, it is classified as a building at risk of being lost.

The former Ascot Cinema, Anniesland, Glasgow.
This is one of Glasgow's lost neighbourhood cinemas. There used to be so many of these local cinemas in Glasgow in the 1930s that it was nicknamed Cinema City.
An Art Deco architectural gem, the Ascot opened in 1939 and screened its final film in 1975. It was partiallly demolished in 2001, with only the facade being retained.

Beautiful Art Deco door handle on the entrance to 145 St Vincent Street in Glasgow.
More famous for its Neoclassical and Art Nouveau buildings, Glasgow also has some great examples of Art Deco buildings as well.
