I love this distinctive building on Seaward Street in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow. It's one of the few remaining buildings in the city with a cast iron facade. It's not listed and I've been able to find out very little about it, beyond it used to house a smithy at the back and a hall on the upper floors (thanks to Past Glasgow for tracking down that info).

The former Anderston Brass Foundry on Elliot Street in Glasgow. It was built in the 1870s using polychromatic brick, which was common for industrial building of that period in Glasgow. It remained a brass foundry until 1914 when it was turned into a paint works, which it's still used for to this day.

The Argyle Hotel on Arygle Street shows that Glasgow can integrate older industrial buildings into newer developments rather than simply knocking them down, so preserving as much of the city's remaining industrial heritage as we can.
