The former Evening Citizen Newspaper Office on Saint Vincent Place in Glasgow. This wonderfully extravagant building, dating from the 1880s, was designed by Thomas Lennox Watson in a Dutch Renaissance style. It was one of the first major commercial buildings in Glasgow constructed from red sandstone, and it was also was of the first to be fully electrified.

@thisismyglasgow does the layout of the ground and first floor doors and windows suggest that they were adorning an existing 18th century building rather than starting from scratch?
@peterbrown As far as I know, this one was built from scratch. 👍🙂

I like the clock faces, as well as the overall design.
