Boot scraper, Alexander 'Greek' Thomson Style. Even this minor detail from his Great Western Terrace in Glasgow oozes classical elegance with its bold, clean lines.

One of my interests has been tracking down and documenting the builders and architects who created the suburb of #Strathbungo. Not just #GreekThomson.

Langside Hill Church on Glasgow's Southside. Design by Alexanser Skirving in 1894 in a style heavily influenced by the great Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, this was apparently the last grand classical church to be built in the city.

The main facade to the former St Andrew's Halls on Granville Street in Glasgow.
Heavily influenced by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, these neoclassical halls were designed by James Sellars, with sculptures by the legendary John Mossman, and were built in 1877. The two Atlantes by the doors were by William Mossman

Love this ironwork outside Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1877 Great Western Terrace in the west end of Glasgow (making it one of his last buildings). There's similar ironwork on his Westbourne Terrace, too, which is just around the cornern and was built a few years earlier.

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.
