However, while it's good to see it is being preserved, I can't help thinking it would have been better just to clean it up as it's lost some of its previous charm.

Built in 1901, it's a mix of castellated Tudoresque and Arts and Crafts styles. The inscription above the door indicates it was used as the headquarters of the 6th Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry

There has been a pub or restaurant of some kind or other on this site since 1888, and this sign presumably dates from a time when women weren't widely welcome in pubs. Instead, the Family Department was where they could buy alcohol for comsumption at home.

Love this decorated oculus on the 1904 St Vincent Masonic Halls on Overnewton Street in the west of Glasgow. I particularly like the face on what I think is the rising sun just starting to make an appearance at the bottom.

Love this 1850s gushet tenement between Old Dumbarton Road and Yorkhill Street in the west of Glasgow. It's not particularly fancy, but there's a simple elegance to it.

A bit geeky, I know, but I love this old stone wall in the Yorkhill area of Glasgow. I've got no idea of its age, but it leads down to the former Bishop's Mill, on the banks of the River Kelvin, which was built in 1839.
