The lightwell in the middle of the 1890s Baltic Chambers on Wellington Street in central Glasgow. This central void lined with windows and white-glazed bricks allowed as much light as possible to reach what would otherwise have been internal rooms with little or no natural light. This was important in the era before the widespread availablility of electricy and incandescent light bulbs.

I absolutely love this sculpted nameplate on Baltic Chambers in Glasgow. It was built in 1897 in the Free Clasaical Style from a design by Duncan McNaughtan, but there is a strong Art Nouveau/Glasgow Style influence in the font used for the lettering and for the stunning stained glass windows above it.
