Designed by E.G.Wylie and built in 1927, it a fine example of the Glasgow tradition in the 19th and early 20th centuries of constructing architecturally impressive buildings to house its financial institutions. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #designdetail.

Love this piece of enamel and metalwork on the Scottish Legal Life Assurance Society building on Bothwell Street in Glasgow. Cont./. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography.#saltire #enanel #metalwork #designdetail

Love this ornate knocker on the main door of Glasgow Cathedral, especially the little winged creature in the middle. #glasgow #architecture #glasgowcathedral #architecturephotography #designdetail #doorfurniture

I love a bit of architectural pareidolia to start the day. Passing a building in Glasgow this morning, I found this beardy little guy staring out across the street from a corble beside the door. #glasgow #architecture #pareidolia #architecturephotography #designdetail

Some of the best #design decisions aren’t the ones you see, but the ones you feel. Like a drawer that glides effortlessly, lighting that sets the perfect mood, or seamless material transitions that just work. What’s a #designdetail you’ve noticed only after experiencing it?.

I wonder how many people past this building each day and never notice these decorative details?. #glasgow #anderston #architecture #mosaic #glasgowbuildings #glasgowstyle #architecturephotography #designdetail #peacock #lookup.

Love these decorative windows, and the carvings above them, on Salmon and Gillespie's 1899 Glasgow Style Savings Bank building on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of the city. #glasgow #anderston #architecture #glasgowstyle #architecturephotography #designdetail

This builiding was designed by A.B. MacDonald and was constructed in the 1890s as a museum for the people of the city. #glasgow #ironwork #architecture #peoplespalace #glasgowgreen #designdetail #artnouveau #architecturephotography #designphotography #font #monogram.

Love the almost Art Nouveau style font used for this monogram on the gates of the People's Palace on Glasgow Green. Cont./ . #glasgow #ironwork #architecture #peoplespalace #glasgowgreen #designdetail #artnouveau #architecturephotography #designphotography #font #monogram

The decorations above the windows of this 1860s warehouse on Ingram Street in Glasgow are just sublime. Such craftsmanship and attention to detail!. #glasgow #architecture #glasgowbuildings #merchantcity #designdetail #windowswednesday #sculpture #architecturephotography

Love this decoration over the entrance to Salmon and Gillespie's 1899 Glasgow Style Savings Bank building on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of the city. #glasgow #anderston #architecture #glasgowbuildings #glasgowstyle #architecturephotography #designdetail

A wonderfully expressive crouching Atlantid carved by George Frampton on J.J. Burnet's 1890s Banking Hall on Ingram Street in Glasgow. #glasgow #sculpture #architecture #glasgowarchitecture #glasgowbuildings #designdetail #atlantid #atlas

Love this tenement tile I came acroas today in a close in the Garscadden area of Glasgow. It's not one I've come across before. #glasgow #ceramics #tile #tiling #tenementtiles #tenement #glasgowtenements #architecture #architecturephotography #design #designdetail #garscadden

Oh, and before you ask, I've got absolutely no idea what half a skateboard is doing up there!. #glasgow #architecture #glasgowarchitecture #glasgowbuildings #designdetail #alwayslookup #skateboard.

This is an impressive piece of decoration, which is so easily missed by those entring or passing the building that it's barely worth adding, and yet there it is. From this I think we can learn two lessons: . Cont./. #glasgow #architecture #designdetail.

This ornamentation over the doorway of a 1903 former warehouse on Howard Street in Glasgow has always intrigued me. In the centre is a sculpted winged symbol, on which you can still make out traces of guilding. Cont./. #glasgow #architecture #glasgowarchitecture #designdetail

Despite the company's name, it's part of an old automated traffic light system. The font for the ATM logo is just so wonderfully Art Nouveau. #glasgow #accesacover #oldaccesscover #artnouveau #laurieston #logo #designdetail.

Another bit of personal geekiness, but I love coming across old access covers like this Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Company one I found recently in the Laurieston area of Glasgow. Cont./. #glasgow #accesacover #oldaccesscover #artnouveau #laurieston #logo #designdetail

The exact same vent covers can also be found on many former Galbraith's Stores throughout the city. However, as they are at ground level, they're all too easily overlooked by most passers-by. #glasgow #designdetail #stepsbar. #thistle #ventcover #artdeco #metalwork #architecture.

Love this thistle vent cover on the outside wall of the Steps Bar on Glassford Street in central Glasgow. Cont./. #glasgow #designdetail #stepsbar. #thistle #ventcover #artdeco #metalwork #architecture
