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.

This is a little gem of polychromatic brick building that's seen better days (and despite being listed really looks like it's on its last legs). It's on Tobago Street in Calton, Glasgow.
It was designed by A Adam and built in 1905 as a store and stable for James Fraser, who was a rag and metal merchant.

Former Greenhead Weaving Factory, James Street, Glasgow.
Designed by Ninian MacWhannell and built in 1888 using polychromatic brickwork, which was a common feature of 19th Century industrial buildings in Glasgow. It housed power-looms of Thomas Thomson which were used to manufacture cloth.

The former Kelvin House warehouse in the west end of Glasgow. From Otago Street, this looks like a fairly typical red sandstone building, but from behind, you can see a great example of the polychromatic brickwork typical of Glasgow's older industrial buildings.

Arched windows on the facade of the former Glasgow Saw and File Works, Elliot Street, Anderston.
Built in the 1870s, this is one of a number of industrial polychromatic brickwork buildings in Glasgow which are at serious risk of being lost.
