The former Glasgow Paramount Cinema on Renfield Street. Opening in 1934, it was designed in an Art Deco style by Frank T. Verity and Samuel Beverley, and it was their only cinema in Scotland. The cinema finally closed in 2003.

Love this stained glass above the entrance to Waterstones on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. This building started its life as a warehouse before being converted into the La Scala cinema in 1912 by Duff and McKissack. As far as I can work out, the stained glass dates from this original conversion.

Love this circular window (one of three in a row) on the side of the 1920s Waverley Cinema in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. Just a perfect little bit of design detail.

The distinctive former Hillhead Picture Salon in the west end of Glasgow.
Built in the 1910s, it was one of Glasgow's earliest suburban cinemas. Designed by Brand and Lithgow in a classical style, it was constructed using Hennebique Ferro concrete in order to help make it fireproof.

The former Cranston's DeLuxe cinema and tea room on Renfield Street in Glasgow.
Built for the business woman Catherine Cranston in the 1910s in a Beaux Arts style from a design bu James Miller and Richard M. Gunn. The facade isn't marble (as it might at first seem) but rather tiles made from faience Carrara-ware.

The grand entrance to the former La Scala cinema on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. This building was originally a warehouse, but like a surprsingly large number of other buildings on the same street, it was converted into a cinema at the start of the 20th Century. It opened in 1912 and closed in 1984. It has been home to a Waterstones bookshop since the 1990s.

This was also the first place a film was publicly shown in Glasgow in 1896 (when it was still an ice rink).

The entrance to the O2 ABC Music Venue on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.
This building started life as an entertainment venue called the Diorama in 1875. It then became the Panorama (1878), Hubner's Ice Skating Palace (1885), Hengler's Circus (1904), the Waldorf Palace dance hall (1927) and a cinema in 1929. It became a music venue in the 2000s, but has been closed since 2018 when it was badly damaged in a fire.
