A Victorian commercial building on West Nile Street in central Glasgow. This is a distinctive and, to me, rather attractive building which is all to easily overlooked due to the rather plain modern shop fronts on the ground floor. It's just one example of the incredibly diverse, but yet typically Glaswegian, range of Victorian buildings in the area of the city centre west of Buchanan Street.

One of Glasgow's most architecturally distinct districts, it largely maintains the Victorian streetscapes which have been lost in many other British cities. However, it's also an area which doesn't get the appreciation it should, and even many Glaswegians fail to recognise quite how unique and important it is from an architectural perspective. It's also slowly getting eaten away by architecturally bland and unsympathetic modern developments.

Sunday's fire on nearby Union Street has shown just how easily, and suddenly, our old building can be lost and our streetscapes can be changed, and I think it's about time we made a much more concerted effort both to appreciate what we have, and to ensure it's conserved for future generations to enjoy.
