Love the dormer windows and cupola on J.J. Burnet's 1891 Charing Cross Mansions in Glasgow.

Interestingly, the mask of Father Time bears an uncanny resemblence to John Burnet Senior, the father of the building's architect John James Burnet Jnr.

Charing Cross Mansions in Glasgow. Designed by J.J. Burnet in a French Renaissance style and built in 1891, it's one of Glasgow's many architectural gems. For those not from Glasgow, in this context a mansion isn't a single large house, but an upmarket version of the much smaller and more simple traditional Glasgow tenement building

Just think how much more eye-catching J.J. Burnet's 1891 French Renaissance style Charing Cross Mansions would look if the ground floor retail units were more in keeping with their original designs, and so the rest of the building.

I love all the different shapes on the roof line of J.J. Burnet's Charing Cross Mansions in Glasgow. Many Glasgow Victorian and Edwardian buildings feature such complex and interesting roofs, but sadly with all the modern highrise buildings now being constructed around them, it's making then much harder to see and to appreciate.

The cupola and chimneys of J.J. Burnet's 1890s French Renaissance style Charing Cross Mansions in Glasgow looking magnificent against today's pure blue skies.

J.J. Burnet's 1891 magnificent Charing Cross Mansions looking wonderful in yesterday's evening sunshine. In Glasgow, the term manisons usually indicates a more upmarket tenement development consisting of larger and higher quality flats.

The magnificent Charing Cross Mansions on the corner of Saint George's Road and Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. It was designed by J.J. Burnet in an Early French Renaissance style and was built in 1891.

Charing Cross Mansions, Glasgow.
Designed by JJ Burnet in the Early French Renaissance Style and built in 1891, this is one of two truly beautiful buildings at Charing Cross. The other is St George's Mansions. Between them runs the M8 motorway, making it very difficult to properly appreciate either of them.
