The 1840s McPhail's Mill on McPhail Street. This later became the Greenhead Works when it was purchased by the gutta-percha merchants R. and J. Dick in 1859. They added the Classical tenement style extension in the foreground in the 1870s. However, despite its appearance, this was not a residential block, but was part of their gutta-percha factory. It was made to look like a tenement due to its prominent position overlooking Glasgow Green.
Love these oriel windows on a 1900 tenement on Greenhead Street in the East End of Glasgow, especially the repeating pattern they create, and the extra details above and below the second storey ones.

It was converted into the Buchanan Instititue in 1859 using a bequest from the Glasgow merchant and philanthropist James Buchanan. The statue on the top its facade is of a studious young boy, and was created in 1873 by William Brodie, who is probably most famous for his statue of Grayfriars Bobby in Edinburgh.

The former Buchanan Institute for Destitute Children overlooking Glasgow Green in the East End of the city. Originally known as Greenhead House, it was designed in a Classical style by Charles Wilson and built in 1846 for the cotton mill owner Dugald McPhail, after whom the nearby McPhail Street is named.

A ghost sign on the Melbourne Street entrance to the former Glasgow meat and cattle market in the East End of the city. Created in the early 1800s, the market finally closed in the 1980s. As far as I can work out, it says No Entrance Except On Business.
