As such, and this may prove controversial, I often feel Salmon and Gillespie should probably get equal billing alongside Mackintosh when it comes to creating this architectural style (just as Margaret MacDonald, Mackintosh's wife should probably get equal billing when it comes to its interior design elements).

While Charles Rennie Mackintosh now gets most of the credit for creating the distinctive Glasgow Style in the late 1800s, James Salmon Jnr and John Gaff Gillespie were just as influential. In fact, the three of them all studied architecture at the Glasgow School or Art around the same time, and Gillespie won the Glasgow Institute of Architects prize alongside Mackintosh ih in 1889.

Love the details on the top floor of this corner turret. It's part of James Salmon Jnr and J. Gaff Gillespie's beautiful 1899 Glasgow Style Savings Bank building on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow.

Christmas tree delivery, Glasgow style. Just give them your address, they set their Christmas tree cannon to the required inclination and bearing and then they fire it across the city. They're so good at it, they can get it through a top floor tenement window from three miles away. You just have to remember to leave it open at the appropriate time! 😀

I love this view of James Miller's 1897 Caledonian Mansions standing high above the River Kelvin on the West End of Glasgow. On the left you can see where a train track once led to the old Kelvinbridge Railway Station, marked by an iron girder, which was connected to this building. This station closed in the 1950s.

I love the contrast between the circular corner tower and the square one rising above the door on this Art Nouveau/Glasgow Style tenement on Hope Street in Glasgow. It was designed by John Keppie and was built in 1906 for the City Improvement Trust.
