The eight caryatids on the main facade of the former St Andrew's Halls (now part of the Mitchell Library) on Granville Street in Glasgow. Sculpted in the 1870s by legendary Glasgow sculptor John Mossman.

Entrance to one of the terraced villas on Lancaster Terrace in the west end of Glasgow. Built around 1875, their design has clearly been influences by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's nearby Westbourne Terrace (built a few years earlier).
I love the caryatids on either side of the door, as well as all that stained glass. The latern's oretty good, too.

From a wander around Paris: the Société de Géographie was founded in 1821. The caryatids represent land and sea.
