North block of the former Tureen Street Public School in the Calton area of Glasgow. This block was designed by John Honeyman and was built in 1875. Despite being B-Listed it's in a very poor state and is considered at risk of being lost.

The arches and windows of the fabulous Ca d'Oro building in Glasgow. Originally built as a furniture warehouse in 1872, it was designed by John Honeyman in the Venetian Renaissance style, and was inspired by the Ca d'Oro (the Golden House) in Vence.

John Honeyman's 1881 Belhaven-Westbourne Church in the west end of Glasgow. Built in the classical renaissance style, this is a wonderfully impressive structure. It's tucked away from the main roads and so is easily overlooked, but it's well worth seeking out.
