The Ca D'Oro Building on Union Street in Glasgow.
Designed by John Honeyman in a Venetian Renaissance style and built in 1872, this is one of the most striking buildings in central Glasgow.
It's also great to see a historic building not being overwhelmed by modern shop signage, so well done to Tescos, Sally Beauty and Savers Health and Beauty

Architectural term of the day: Spandrel.
A spandrel is triangular a space created where two arches meet. This leaves a blank space which is just crying out to be decorated, and spandrels are often filled with the most ornate features to be found on a building. This example is from the Ca d'Oro building in Glasgow.
