Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Ruchill Parish Church Halls on Shakespeare Street in Glasgow is set to be sold by the Church of Scotland sometime in the next year. Built in 1899, it's probably the last Mackintosh building still owned by the original owner and still being used for its original purpose. It still retains a lot of its original features inside as well.

The gorgeously Art Deco Leyland Motor Company building on Salkeld Street on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in 1933, it is thought to have been designed by James Miller, one of the unsung heroes of Glasgow's architecture.
It's #doorsday! Today I'm sharing one of the stunning doors at the entrance to Katedra Polowa Wojska Polskiego, the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army in Warsaw.
The beauty above our heads. Glasgow was primarily built to be viewed either on foot, or from the top deck of a passing tram, rather than from a car, and if you only ever drive around the city, you miss a lot of its beautiful architecture which is high above our heads, like this domed cupola on J.J. Burnet's 1890s banking hall on Ingram Street.
#FotoVorschlag ”Kubistisch”- Kijk-Kubus Museumwoning, Rotterdam. These are iconic cube houses near the Market Hall. #architecture #architecturephotography Photo takes some years ago in a winter city break to Amsterdam.
Nightfall at the Kelvin Hall in the West End of Glasgow.
1860s townhouses in Kelvin Drive in the northwest of Glasgow. I just love the way the big bow windows have been used to turn the corner. The left hand house was first owned by Peter MacLeod, a lawyer, while the right hand one was initially inhabited by Allan Buchanan Dick, a partner is a firm of soap manufacturers, tallow melters, oil and lard merchants and drysalters
Love this lone small, but none-the-less decorative, window on the ground floor of the Hope Street Facade of the Norwich Union Chambers in Glasgow. Designed by Robert Hutchison, it was built in 1897.
A rather stylish Victorian corner tenement on Cathcart Road in the Mount Florida area of Glasgow.
School is back in session, and though I miss the classroom and the students, I am happy not to be starting another #school year. #Retirement suits me fine. This photo is the Paul Barret, Jr. #Library at Rhodes College, where I taught for 22 years.
This is a rather unusual set of dormer windows on the Toryglen Parish Church in Glasgow, which was built in the 1950s.
There was a brief glimpse of the sun this evenning, just as I happened to be passing Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow, setting the red sandstone aglow, just for a few minutes.

The former British Home Stores building on the corner of Renfield Street and Bath Street in Glasgow. Built in the 1960s, it replaced the early Victorian Renfield Street Church, designed by James Brown, which was demolished in 1965. It's been lying empty since 2016.
Love this sculpted corbel on the Memorial Chapel at Glasgow University. It was created by Archibald Dawson in the 1920s.
