The cart entrance to the old Crown Mill on Washington Street in the Anderston Area of Glasgow. This Italianate building was constructed in 1862, but all that is now left is the boarded up ground floor. However, you can still see traces of the compaby's name as a gost sign above the door.

Saint Mungo's Church in the Townhead area of Glasgow. It was built in 1841 in an Italianate Gothic style from a design by George Goldie.

Crow-stepped gables, fleche and cupola of Pollokshaws Burgh Hall on the southside of Glasgow. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson in the Scots Renaissance style and constructed in the 1890s, it reproduces details from now-lost Old College buildings on High Street.

A lovely little set of Glasgow tenement tiles with an autumn feel to them. They're from a close in Hyndland.

The former Baptist Mission Church on Canal Street, Glasgow. It was built in a domestic style in 1898 for mission work in the Port Dundas area of the city. This continued until it closed in 1958. It's one of the few unlisted older buildings left standings in this area.

Martyr's School, Townhead, Glasgow.
Constructed in 1895, this is an early work by Charles Rennie MacKintosh. The general outline of the building follows the requirements of the Glasgow School Board, who commissioned it, but there are plenty of distinctive MacKintosh flourishes, including the classic Glasgow-style ogee domes on the spirelets.

Cell block behind the old Partick Police Station on Gullane Street in Glasgow. The station itself opened in the 1850s and finally closed in the 1990s. It also served as Maryhill Police Station in the original series of the police drama Taggart.

I haven't posted any tenement tiles for a while, so I thought I'd post this Art Nouveau beauty. It's from the Broomhill area of Glasgow.

18 Blackfriars Street in Glasgow. A little bit off the beaten track, this is a great example of a Georgian Glasgow building. Constructed around 1790, it's thought to have been designed in a Neo-Classical style by Robert and John Adam.

78 Carlton Place on the south bank of the Clyde in Glasgow. Designed in a classical style by Peter Nicholson and built in the 1810s, it's the centre piece of an impressive block of Georgian townhouses. Lining what was then the upper harbour, these houses would have been occupied by the city's merchant class.

The entrance to Shettleston Library in Glasgow. Opened in 1925as part of an expansion of Glasgow libraries, it immediately it proved very popular, especially with local children, as shown by this quote from the time:
"Shortly after four o'clock hundreds of children were on the scene and the commissioner who was in attendance had great difficulty keeping the children in order. They swarmed round the door like bees round a hive"

I love this run of old stables behind the Victorian townhouses on Park Gardens in the west end of Glasgow (top left). They're built into the slope and have a garden built on top of them (bottom left) so as to be hidden from the neighbouring townhouses further up the hill. Their chimneys have even been hidden in piers of the railings around the garden so as to avoid intruding on the view (right).

Looking along the 1850s Saint Andrew's Suspension Bridge at Glasgow Green towards the domed tower of the 1904 former Hutchesontown District Library.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this fantastic griffin handle to cast iron greek urn. The urn itself is the finial on a newel post outside a townhouse on Woodlands Terrace in the west end of Glasgow.

If you ever wonder who designed, built and plastered 22 Park Circus in Glasgow, just nip round the back. As you can see at the bottom of this photo, the architect (James Boucher), the builder (R. McCord) and the plaster (James Steel Senior) all seem to have helpfully inscribed their names there!

I've visited and photographed Pollokshaws Burgh Hall several times, but today was the first time I noticed this fearsome little fellow tucked under the sill of one of the rear windows.

All that's now left of the once impressive and commanding edifice that was, until very recently, the Sir John Maxwell School in the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow.
This was a beautiful old building which should never have been allowed to fall so far into disrepair that it had to be demolished.
