The former Pollokshields West Church on Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by W.G. Rowan and built in the late 1870s, it bears a striking resemblence to Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1850s Saint Vincent Street Church in the city centre, especially the square corner tower.

There's something about this tenement on Battlefield Road in Glasgow which really appeals to me. It's a very simple building, but it still carries itself with an air of confidence.
By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow.
Ruchill Parish Church and Halls on Shakespeare Street in the north of Glasgow. The pale sandstone halls were designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh and were built in 1899, while the red sandstone church was built a few years later in 1903 and was designed by Neil C. Duff. The reason why MacKintosh was not also commissioned to design the church as well as the halls is a bit of a mystery.
Whitehall on Springkell Avenue beside Maxwell Park on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by Robert Duncan in a Classical style, this villa was constructed in the 1890s, with additions by P. McGregor Chalmers in 1913. It's first owner was William Gray of the shipowner and chandlers MacBeth and Gray.
Ugh. If the new bus terminal is going to look anything like that wavy glass Chang Feng building they did, I'm going to be sad. It looks like a tacky design from a Star Wars prequel.
William Hunter McNab's Drill Hall on the corner of Yorkhill Street and Carfrae Street in the Kelvinhaugh area of Glasgow. Built in 1901, it's a mix of castellated Tudoresque and Arts and Crafts styles.
The Knowe on Albert Drive in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson for the merchant John Blair, it was started in 1852. At the time it was built, the house was surrounded by countryside, but has since been overtaken by the growing city.
