The former Metropolitan Vickers building on Waterloo Street in Glasgow. Built in 1925 in the modern classical style, this building is notable for the animal masks along its roof line.

These were created by Phyllis M. Bone. Famous for her animal sculptures, she became the first female Academician of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1940.
