A wonderfully curved 1860s blonde sandstone tenement on the corner of Wilton Street and Belmont Street in the West End of Glasgow.

For me, nice, sweeping curves are one of the major features missing from many modern buildings. I've often wondered if this is because straight-edged boxes are much easier to draw with the Computer-Aided Design software now used by many architects.
