The Scots Baronial style Victoria Buildings on West Regent Street in Central Glasgow. Designed by J.A. Bell and built in 1858, what we see today is just a surviving fragment of a much larger building which originally occupied the whole block.

It was built for Archibald Orr Ewing, who made his money from the commercialisation of Turkey Red Dying, a process for producing bright and long-lasting red textiles.
