    Arrow Clydeport Authority Building - Glasgow - 18th Sept 2010 - Open doors event.

    I took advantage of the once a year open doors event to have a look at the way they used to build shipping related offices in Glasgow back in the day.


    The Clydeport head office in Robertson Street, Glasgow is a fine example of the work of the architect Sir John James Burnet and includes a number of finely appointed rooms with original features including French walnut, stained glass, mosaic flooring and gold leaf ornamentation.

    The original Clyde Trust Building, consisting of the main entrance and four upper floors, was completed in 1886. This was then extended between 1906 and 1908 to create the building as it appears today.

    The building is now A-listed and provides office premises for Clydeport and other organisations.

    A lovely building mate and very good pictures.

    I love stained glass.
