John Nisbet's impressive 1906 Camphill Gate Tenement on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. The owners have done a huge amount of work to conserve this tenement, and it would be great to see this complimented by some period-appropriate signage on the retail spaces on the ground floor.

A red sandstone corner tenement on Pollokshaws Road on the Southside of Glasgow. I like the fact that the traditional shop fronts have largely been retained or re-instated on this block, including the canopies.

John Nisbet's impressive 1906 Camphill Gate Tenement on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. The railings along the top reveal the existence of a feature you cannot see from ground level: A rooftop drying green.

Looking northeast along Pollokshaws Road on the Southside of Glasgow, with Camphill Gate in the middle foreground. Designed by John Nisbet in 1906, this was one of the first tenements in Glasgow built using fireproof concrete for the floors and roofs.

Kerb stones outside 1427 Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow which have been worn away by iron-rimmed cart wheels, or at least that's one hypothesis. I can't quite remember who told me about this, but it seems like very feasible explanation.

A half-timbered effect Tudor Revival building on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. This is not a particularly common architectural style in the city, but it does turn up from time to time.

Such rooftop gardens on Glasgow tenements are not as uncommon as you might think, and once you start looking for rooftop railings, you'll start spotting them everywhere.

The impressive Camphill Gate Tenement on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. The railings along the top reveal the existence of a feature you cannot see from ground level: A rooftop drying green/garden, from which you can see across the city and out as far as Ben Lomond (on a clear day, at any rate).

The Corona Bar, Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow. Dating from 1912, it was designed by Clarke and Bell. Just love that clock tower and its domed roof.
