An interesting juxtaposition of early and late Victorian commercial architecture on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. The building on the left dates from 1851 and was designed in a Classical style by John Baird. The one on the right was designed in a Free Style in the 1890s by Robert Thomson. By this time, both red sandstone and the introduction of the concept of 'elevator' buildings from US were starting to have a major impact on the city's streetscapes.

84 Buchanan Street in Glasgow. This is part of a group of Classical commercial buildings constructed around 1835 and designed by Robert Foote, the first architectural mentor of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson.

The ghost sign on it is for the bookbinding and printing firm McCormick and Company, which was founded by John McCormick in 1890 and survived until 2011.

The Cleland family crest, featuring a hare with a hunting horn, on the top of the Cleland Testimonial buidling on the corner of Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. It was built the 1830s in memory of Dr James Cleland who served as the Superintendent for Public Works for Glasgow between 1814 and 1834. He was one of the main drivers behind the creation of a public park at Glasgow Green.

What a day to be out photographing Glasgow's magnificent architecture! Other than a bit of cropping, this one needed nothing else done to it.

This is 37 Buchanan Street in Glasgow, and it was once home to the wonderfully named Kemp's Shawl Emporium.

David Kemp started his business making and selling shawls in 1832 and grew it into a nationally renowned enterprise which soon expanded to become a more general clothing manufacturers producing high quality clothes in the latest fashionable designs from London and Paris.
