Love this grand entrance to a former bank building on Saint Vincent Place in Glasgow. Constructed in the 1860s, the building was designed by John T. Rochead while the sculptures were created by William Mossman.

Clydesdale Bank's Glasgow headquarters at 30 St Vincent Place has been gone for a while now. The three storey A-listed asymmetrical Venetian Renaissance style building is now ready to let. What could this building be? #stvincentplace #listedbuilding #glasgow
