The Buchanan Street section of former Glasgow Herald Building. Built in 1879, it was designed by James Sellars. It connects on to the Mitchell Street section, which was built just over a decade later in 1893 and was designed by John Keppie and Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

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.
I love this old brick building hidden away on Springfield Court behind the granduer of Buchanan Street in central Glasgow.

The remains of lightwells, lined with windows and white glazed bricks, in Victorian buildings on Buchanan Street in Glasgow revealed by the demolition of the surrounding buildings. Lightwells allowed natural light to reach as many of the internal rooms as possible. As far as I can work out, these particular lightwells are those outlined in red on the accompanying map, which also shows how common such lightwells (coloured blue) once were.
Looking up at the entrance to a red sandstone Edwadian Baroque building on Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow. Designed by A.N. Paterson and constructed in 1908, it was originally built as The Liberal Club, but later became home to the Royal Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

The Venetian Gothic former Glasgow Stock Exchange building. Designed by John Burnet in 1875, with later additions by his son John James Burnet, this is one of the most distictive buildings on the city's Buchanan Street.

The 1830s Cleland Testimonial Building on the corner of Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Designed by D. and J. Hamilton, it was built 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.

The former Wylie and Lochhead building on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Designed by James Sellars in a Renaissance style, it was built in 1884. At one time, Wylie and Lochhead were the largest cabinet-makers in Scotland. Rather than being made of stone, its facade is made of terracotta.

The beautifully carved nameplate above the door of the old National Bank Chambers building on Buchanan Street in Glasgow.

I love the details along the southern facade of the former North British Rubber Co building on Buchanan Street in Glasgow, especially the pattern created by the repeated curving balustrades. Built on the 1890s, it was designed in a Free Style by Robert Thomson.
