Built 1847 in the Italian Renaissance style, this impressive edifice started its life as the first National Bank of Scotland in Glasgow City Centre. Around 1900, it was moved stone by stone across the city and rebuilt in Langside where it began its second life as Langside Halls.

Absolutely love these heads on Langside Halls in Glasgow, scuplted by John Thomas in the mid-1800s. They represent the spirits of four of the great rivers of Britain (the Clyde, the Thames, the Tweed and the Humber). There is also a fifth one representing the Severn, which is not included here.
