Built in 1894, this church was designed in a Gothic Revival style by H.J. Blanc and it's covered in some fantastic Gothic-inspired sculptures and carvings. It's now used as an events venue.

I've featured it before, but it is probably about time I feature it again! 👍🙂

The owners have done a huge amount of work to conserve this tenement, and it would be great to see this complimented by some period-appropriate signage on the retail spaces on the ground floor.

In 2015, the SNO moved to a new home in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall at the top of Buchanan Street, and the building returned to ecclesiastical use as the Tron Kelvingrove Church.

In 1979, it became home to the Scottish National Orchestra after its previous home, the nearby St Andrew's Halls, burned down in 1962. At this point, the church was renamed the Sir Henry Wood Hall after one of the UK's most famous conductors.

I can't work out if the broken windows are from something on the outside trying to break in or, perhaps more worryingly, something inside trying to break out!

It's housed in Gordon Chambers which was designed by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers, and was built in 1905. I presume this is also when the stained glass dates from.

Designed by Malcolm Stark and Rowntree in a Renaissance Revival style, it was opened in 1895 as the Govan District Asylum. I love the way the windows step up the internal stairs.
