Love the almost Art Nouveau style font used for this monogram on the gates of the People's Palace on Glasgow Green. This builiding was designed by A.B. MacDonald and was constructed in the 1890s as a museum for the people of the city.

Brass lamps in the reconstructed interior of Charles Rennie MacKintosh's home in Glasgow University. These are almost identical to some of the lamps hanging in MacKintosh's Queen's Cross Church in Maryhill.

A fantastically intricate stained glass window on Belhaven Terrace in the west end of Glasgow. The houses on this terrace were designed by James Thomson and were built in the 1870s.

Lion's head railings outside the former Trinity College building in the west end of Glasgow. This building dates from 1856 and was designed by Charles Wilson. I love the radial symmetry of this ironwok.

I love the Art Nouveau font on the nameplate for John Nisbet's magnificent 1906 Camphill Gate tenement building on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is another one from the Glasgow University Memorial Chapel. It's this very cute, and sleepy-looking, owl nestled in the foliage on a column capital.

Art Nouveau stained glass fanlight above the entrance to an early 1900s terraced town house on Lorraine Road in the west end of Glasgow. This part of the Kensington Gate group designed by David Barclay.

Main door to the former Printing Works on Darnley Street in Pollokshields, Glasgow. Designed by D.B. Dobson and built in 1902, this building has some amazing Art Nouveau details. I love the tiles around this doorway, and the fact that the lower hinges have been made into snake's heads.

Brass lantern, Queen's Cross Church, Glasgow. Designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh. Just love the shape and the lines of this lamp.

Some rather beautiful hexagonal stained glass in the door of St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Abercromby Street, Glasgow. This church was designed by Goldie and Child of London and was built in the 1840s.

Love this ironwork outside Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1877 Great Western Terrace in the west end of Glasgow (making it one of his last buildings). There's similar ironwork on his Westbourne Terrace, too, which is just around the corner and was built a few years earlier.

Black ironwork with a large arch on the bottom containing scroll work and an Egyptian-style fan picked out in gold. Above this are two rows of smaller arches, also in black.

The rather elegant logo of the Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Company on a manhole cover in Broomhill in Glasgow. This means it was installed between 1911 and 1932, making it around 100 years old. I guess sometimes it pays to look down as well as up in Glasgow!

It's just a narrow little window beside the front door to let a bit extra light into the hallway, but just look at that stained glass, and that amazingly curvy lintel!

From a short run of B-listed Tudor-style terraced houses on Highburgh Road in the west end of Glasgow designed by P MacGregor Chalmers and built in 1899.

Sinuous ironwork outside a tenement on Ruthven Street in the west end of Glasgow. Love the curves on this.
