The wonderful and unique Ozalid's Warehouse in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow. It was designed by William James Anderson in the 1890s and is an early example of a building constructed using an iron frame and concrete cladding.

The railings along the top suggest it originally had a rooftop drying green, and looking at an aerial photo, it may also have had a rooftop washhouse area (but that's by no means certain).

It's unusual in having a stained glass window behind it with a design which seems to integrate directly with the stonework in front of it.

I love the ornate street numbers you can find on Glasgow's ornate Victorian and Edwardian commercial buildings. This one is on the former New City Road Glasgow Savings Bank building in Cowcaddens.

Built in 1909, the former New City Road branch of the Glasgow Savings Bank is one of the few buildings to survive post-war redevelopment. Once surrounded by sandstone tenements, the area was transformed with the m8 motorway
