The former Evening Citizen Newspaper Office on Saint Vincent Place in Glasgow. This wonderfully extravagant building, dating from the 1880s, was designed by Thomas Lennox Watson in a Dutch Renaissance style. It was one of the first major commercial buildings in Glasgow constructed from red sandstone, and it was also was of the first to be fully electrified.

The magnificent Scottish Provident Institution Building on St Vincent Place in central Glasgow. Constructed in 1904 in a French Renaissance style that would be just as much at home in Paris as it is in Scotland's largest city, it was designed by J. M. Dick Peddie.

A rather wonderful bust of Mercury on the Anchor Line Building on Saint Vincent Place in Glasgow. Like the rest of the facade, it's made of a marble-like ceramic called Faience. Amongst other things, Mercury was the Roman god of commerce and travellers, which may explain why he appears twice on a building constructed for a Edwardian shipping line.
