This Is My Glasgow<p>I've yet to come to a conclusion as to whether or not I actually like them, but they're certainly better than many more recent developments, and much of the housing built in the 1960s and 1970s.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/stvincentstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stvincentstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/anderson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anderson</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/modernarchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>modernarchitecture</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>Modern tenement style buuldings on Saint Vincent Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. Built in the 1980s or early 1990s (I'm guessing), they feature details, such as oriel windows and arched dormers, which can be found on the city's traditional tenements and townhouses without crossing the line into pastiche territory. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/stvincentstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stvincentstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/anderson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anderson</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/modernarchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>modernarchitecture</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The wondeful corner tower of the Norwich Union Chambers on Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow. Designed by Robert Hutchison in a Free Renaissance style, it was built in 1897, around what was probably the peak popularity of corner towers on Glasgow buildings</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/cornertower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cornertower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/stvincentstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stvincentstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/buildingphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buildingphotography</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The former Northern Assurance Building on Saint Vincent Street in central Glasgow. Built in 1908, it was designed by John A.

This Is My Glasgow<p>The Phoenix Assurance Company monogram on thr door of their former office at 78 Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow. While this building was constructed in 1908, the Phoenix Assurance Company was created in London in the 1780s to specialise in providing insurance to the new businesses of the industrial revolution, such as cotton mills, which had substantial fire risks associated with them.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/phoenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phoenix</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/stvincentstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stvincentstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ironwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ironwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/metalwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metalwork</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>I have a new favourite lion in Glasgow's architecture and it's this one from the keystone of an arch on the Norwich Union Chambers at 125 Saint Vincent Street. I just love that piercing stare and the motion of the roar which has been captured by the sculptor.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowarchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowarchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/lion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>roar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/animalsinarchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animalsinarchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/stvincentstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stvincentstreet</span></a></p>
