The terminal pavilion of a terrace of Classical townhouses on Claremont Terrace in the West End of Glasgow. They were designed by John Baird and were built in 1847.
One of the three-storey pavilions on Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's Great Western Terrace in the West End of Glasgow. Designed in Thomson's characteristic Grecian style, it was built in 1869
Victorian Townhouses on Westbourne Gardens in the Hyndland area of Glasgow. Dating from the 1870s, I like the addition of a taller pavilion in the middle of the terrace to add some variation to the street.
These are some of my favourite townhouses in the west end of Glasgow. Situated on Dowanside Road, they were designed by David Barclay and were built around 1900 as part of a development of similar style terraced houses on this and a number of surrounding streets.
1870s Townhouses on Victoria Crescent Road in the Dowanhill area of Glasgow. I love the oriel windows on these houses and the fact there's just a hint of a convex curve to the their facade.
A beautiful example of a Victorian Glasgow tenement from Peel Street in Partick. Designed in a Classical style by H and D Barclay, it was built in 1875.
Acid-etching involves using acid to corrode glass and produce a frosted finish. If done in a controlled manner, it can be used to create intricate and beautiful patterns. While acid-etching dates back as far as the Romans, commerical scale acid-etching was only invented in 1857. It was very popular during the Victorian era and can be seen in many Glasgow buildings from that era.
I don't know why the Green Man was such a popular motif for Victorian Glasgow, but he can be found all over the place, including this rather stunning example from the City Chambers. Just check out the size of that leafy moustache and the strange creatures lurking in it!
Victorian terraced townhouses overlooking Kelvingrove Park in the west end of Glasgow. Built in the 1850 in a French Renaissance Style, these houses, along with many of the neighbouring ones, were designed by Charles Wilson.
