Brass lamps in the reconstructed interior of Charles Rennie MacKintosh's home in Glasgow University. These are almost identical to some of the lamps hanging in MacKintosh's Queen's Cross Church in Maryhill.

A wonderful circular corner bay window topped by a rather striking Glasgow Style metal cupola and finial on Alexandra Parade in the east end of Glasgow.

I love it when I come across a Glasgow building I've never seen before. The other day, it was this superb Art Nouveau/Glasgow Style 1903 former glass warehouse designed by J. Gibb Morton at 126 Howard Street.

It's pretty much hidden by the mess that is the entrance to the St Enoch Centre Car Park, and only the facade is left, but at least this has been preserved.

James Miller's rather fabulous 1898 Glasgow-Style tenement on Bridge Street in the Laurieston area of Glasgow. Most Glasgow-Style buildings are built with red sandstone, while this one is made from blonde sandstone, presumably to blend in with the older tenements around it.

A nice example of a Glasgow Style tenement from the Calton area of Glasgow, complete with a turreted corner bay topped by an ogee cupola and finial.

Built in 1900, this is what is known as a splayed corner tenement, because of the obtuse angle between the facades on the two adjoining streets. This makes it the opposite of the more iconic gushet style corner tenement.

A wonderful circular corner bay window topped by a Glasgow Style dome and finial on a tenement on Whitehill Street in the east end of Glasgow. I always love coming across features like these as they are so typical of the city's everyday architecture.

Brass lantern, Queen's Cross Church, Glasgow. Designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh. Just love the shape and the lines of this lamp.

Terraced houses on Kessington Gate, Glasgow. Designed in the Glasgow Style by David Barclay and built in the early 1900s, I love the curved bay windows and their arched entrance ways.

I've been going to Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow since I was a kid, but I only noticed these wonderfully ornate cast iron vent covers for the first time the other day.

It just goes to show that Glasgow always has something new to offer, no matter how well you think you know it!

Ornate Art Nouveau ironwork lamps on Kirklee Bridge in the west end of Glasgow.

I'm presuming these lamps date from around 1900, when the bridge itself was built.
