The former Parish Council Offices on George Street in Glasgow. Designed in an Edwardian Baroque style by Thomson and Sandilands, they were built in 1900. It has been recently renovated and just goes to show what you can do with older buildings if you put the money and the effort in.

Argyll Motors started in Bridgeton in the East End of Glasgow in 1899, but later moved to this much larger purpose-built factory. It closed in 1932, but was re-purposed as a torpedo factory during World War II. Only the administration block and the main facade remain standing, and is now home to a shopping centre.

The grand entrance to the former Argyll Motor Works in Alexandria to the West of Glasgow. Designed by Halley and Neil an Edwardian Baroque style, it was built in 1906. I love the inclusion of an industrial-inspired sculpture above the door rather than the more typical Classical one.
