This Is My GlasgowRed sandstone office building on the corner of Howard Street and Saint Enoch Square in Glasgow. Designed by Alexander Petrie, it was built in the 1890s.

The design features crossed cornucopias, a symbol of abundance, and a variation on the Caduceus of Mercury, the Roman god of commerce and financial gain. He also happens to be the god of thieves.

Love this sculptural decoration on the former National Bank of Scotland in St Enoch Square in Glasgow, particularly the way the snakes wrapped around the central rod are peeking over its wings.
Constructed in 1906, the sculptures on this building are by Phyllis Archibald (one of only two female architectural sculptors I know with work on the city's Victorian and Edwardian buildings) and Richard Ferris.

The glass and metal entrance to St Enoch Subway Station in central Glasgow illuminated by the lights of a nearby ferris wheel in a Christmas funfair.

Prudence and Adventure on the1906 National Bank of Scotland on St Enoch Square in Glasgow. They were created by Phyllis Archibald, the only female sculptor I know of whose work adorns an Edwardian or Victorian building in the city.

Love this threshold mosaic on the former National Bank of Scotland on St Enoch Square in Glasgow, especially the very subtle intertwined leaves. It probably dates from when the building was constructed in 1906.

I love all the little Green Men that are all over James Miller's 1896 St Enoch Subway Station building in St Enoch Square in central Glasgow. It probably has more than any other building in the city.
