J.T. Rochead's 1855 Grosvenor Terrace in the West End of Glasgow. The eastern half of this terrace is a reconstruction created using glass reinforced concrete to recreate the original facade in 1980 after this part of the terrace was gutted by a fire in 1978. This just goes to show what can be done to resurrect historic buildings after a serious fire.

Reminded of the title of Elizabeth Smart's novella
"By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept"

A nightmare for commuters tomorrow. Main line train services, low line train services. And union street is a major artery for buses for shoppers/workers to reach Argyle street and city centre offices. I daresay rerouting to Argyle street and around George Square in short term but bus passenger info has never been great at the best of times.
