Beautifully sculpted bull's head on the 1870s former John Inglis and Company tannery and leather warehouse building on Saint Andrew's Square in Glasgow.
Craignestock Mansions on London Road in the Calton area of Glasgow. This block of tenements, complete with rooftop drying green, was constructed a round 1900. In Glasgow, the epithet 'Mansions' was generally used to indicate a higher quality tenement building, as in Charing Cross Mansions or Anniesland Mansions.
The origins of the ground floor pub pre-date the current building by some time, and there are records of pub in this corner as far back as 1776. Back then, it was called the Old Herb Beer House and it was famous as being the first place to sell herb beer alongside alcoholic drinks in Glasgow. Herb Beer tasted and smelt like real beer, but contained no alcohol.
I love the symmetry of these roman-arched doors on the 1860s Italian Palazzo Cinquecento style former East Campbell Street United Presbyterian Church just off Gallowgate in the East End of Glasgow.
The former Our Lady and Saint Francis Secondary School on the corner of Greendyke Street and Charlotte Street in Glasgow. Inspired by the work of the Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier, it was designed in a Modern Movement style in 1963 by the legendary Jack Coia.
The Logan and Johnstone School of Domestic Economy overlooking Glasgow Green. Founded in the 1890s by William Logan and his wife Jean Johnston, this school provided assistance, education and upbringing for poor or destitute step-children and orphans.
The former Wellpark Institute on Sydney Street in the East End of Glasgow. Built in an Italianate style in 1867, it was originally constructed as a Free Church school.
Another view of A.B. McDonald's former Central Police Headquarters on Saint Andrew's Square in the Calton area of Glasgow. If refurbished properly, this could be a real gem of the east end of the city.
The entrance to the courtyard of the former Central Police Headquarters on Saint Andrew's Square in the Calton area of Glasgow. Designed by A.B. McDonald and built in 1903, this is another one of the city's grand old buildings which is crying out to be bought back into use.
You find many strange things abandoned outside of Glasgow pubs on a Sunday morning, but this is the first time I've found a piano! Needless to say, someone had been sick on it.
North block of the former Tureen Street Public School in the Calton area of Glasgow. This block was designed by John Honeyman and was built in 1875. Despite being B-Listed it's in a very poor state and is considered at risk of being lost.
