A lovely little set of Glasgow tenement tiles with an autumn feel to them. They're from a close in Hyndland.

I haven't posted any tenement tiles for a while, so I thought I'd post this Art Nouveau beauty. It's from the Broomhill area of Glasgow.

Original decorative tiling at the entrance to a ground floor shop in a block of tenements built around 1900 on Queen Margaret Drive in Glasgow.

McConnel's Building on Hope Street in Glasgow.

Designed by John Keppie in an Art Nouveau style, it was constructed for the Glasgow City Improvement Trust in 1906.

Old bell-pulls on a tenement, . Mostly supplanted by modern door intercoms, you still find some of these on Victorian tenements. Occasionally some still work! Friend had a flat with a working one, pull the knob, jangle-jangle of bells in her flat. Naturally I pulled it every time I went around!

This is a great little tenement building on Bell Street in Glasgow. It's dated 1896 and also has a nice Glasgow Coat of Arms on its stepped gable.

Ornate lamp featuring the Glasgow Coat of Arms over the entrance to a tenement close in the Strathbungo area of the city.

Such lamps usually signify that an occupant of a building is (if there's two) or once was (if there's just one) the Lord Provost of Glasgow.

Love this unusually-shaped tenement dome and finial above the Park Bar on Dumbarton Road in Clydebank.

A nice example of a Glasgow Style tenement from the Calton area of Glasgow, complete with a turreted corner bay topped by an ogee cupola and finial.

Built in 1900, this is what is known as a splayed corner tenement, because of the obtuse angle between the facades on the two adjoining streets. This makes it the opposite of the more iconic gushet style corner tenement.

Looking up the long slope of towards from the old stone bridge over the Union Canal flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_g

Used to cycle up that when we had a student flat at the top, I think I would keel over if I tried to cycle it today...

A wonderful circular corner bay window topped by a Glasgow Style dome and finial on a tenement on Whitehill Street in the east end of Glasgow. I always love coming across features like these as they are so typical of the city's everyday architecture.

James D Galloway Tyre Distribution ghost sign on the gable end of an east end tenement building in Glasgow.

In the distance, you can just make out some of the memorials in the city's necropolis.
