These are the types of decorative elements which really help give a building personality, but that are all too often missing from modern architecture.

Love this decorative windowhead on an 1860s Italianate former warehouse on Hutcheson Street in central Glasgow, especially the fish-like creature in the middle.

However, by the 1970s, when it was being used as a banana-ripening warehouse by the fruit merchant's Gilbert Walker and Co, it was a shadow of its former self and had lost its top floor and pediment.

18 Blackfriars Street in Glasgow. Originally constructed in 1790 as a Neo-Classical merchant's house, this is one of Glasgow's surprising number of surviving Georgian mansions.

The Jacobean Corsetry came much later in the building's history. Established in 1946, the Jacobean Corsetry shop occupied this site until it closed in 2000. However, it's distinctive and much loved sign remains.

The Tolbooth Steeple at Glasgow Cross. Dating from 1634, it's all that remains of the original Tolbooth building, most of which was demolished in 1921.

However, it's not clear (to me) whether or not the current building is that old.

This little building on Parnie Street in Glasgow has always intrigued me. Squashed between an old church (now the Tron Theatre) and a late Victorian tenement, it has always seemed a little out of place.
