I love how Glasgow's tenements look in the sunshine. These 1870s blonde sandstone ones are on Woodlands Road on the west of the city.

Lone Survivor: It always seems rather sad to come across an orphaned tenement which has been left standing when all its neighbours have been demolished. Often, as is the case for this one on Keppochhill Road in Glasgow, the survivors have a pub on their ground floor and this was what saved it as it was deemed too expensive to buy out the licence for such premises.

Carving of HMS Agamemnon on a Clydebank tenement. Built by William Beardmore and Company, it was the largest warship built on the Clyde when it was launched in 1906.

100 years later: When the #KuKluxKlan came to #Maine, locals turned them away

In 1924, the group started marching in #Saco. But when they tried to cross into #Biddeford, they were turned away by Franco and Irish #immigrants.

SACO, Maine — "Traffic zooms steadily between Saco and Biddeford, crossing the Saco River on the Main Street bridge and the Elm Street bridge on Route 1, farther upstream.

"They are separate cities, with a combined population of about 43,000, and they have a great deal in common.

"But 100 years ago, the cities were split, with strong emotions on both sides of the river. They were divided by ethnicity, social status, and religion.

"And into that divide came the Ku Klux Klan in 1924.

"'I think most people in Maine have no idea of that history,' Biddeford native and former Mayor Alan Casavant said. 'When they think of the Klan, they think of down South, but the Klan was here with different objectives and different targets.'

"Indeed, the Klan was remarkably active in Maine in the mid-1920s, targeting immigrants and #Catholics. The dominant immigrant populations were #FrancoAmericans from Canada and Irish, and both were predominantly #Catholic. The immigrants came to work in the huge #TextileMills, and most lived in #tenements in Biddeford.

"Casavant said that was a big part of the division between the cities. The immigrant and Catholic workers lived in Biddeford. The #MillOwners and managers, whom he said were largely Protestant, lived in Saco.

"At the Saco Museum, director Anatole Brown said the Klan helped to fuel the friction from #economics, as well as cultural and religious differences, and that it gained a significant following around Maine, especially in mill towns.

"'Gov. [Ralph Owen] Brewster of Maine apparently had Klan connections and had mayors around Maine, like Rockland, Portland and Saco, where they had Klan ties.'

"Saco Mayor John Smith supported the Klan, Brown said. And when the Klan said it wanted to stage a rally in the city on Labor Day of 1924, Smith approved.

"'John G. Smith ran as a Klan affiliate and ran on a ticket that he was 100 percent American,' Brown said. 'He promised there would never be any Catholic schools built in Saco.'

"The reports were that the #KKK planned to rally in Saco and then march across the river to Biddeford to directly show their grievances to the immigrant community. That, said Brown, raised the ire of Biddeford residents and that city’s mayor, Edward Drapeau, who vowed to not let the Klan into Biddeford."

1960s tower blocks rising above traditional red sandstone tenements in the Broomhill area of Glasgow.

Cleaned and uncleaned tenements on Albert Avenue in the Queen's Park area of Glasgow. Until a cleaning programme was initiated in the 1970s, most of Glasgow's traditional sandstone buildings were black from many decades of accumulated soot and grime. These tenements show what buildings looked like before and after they were cleaned.

You’ve heard of #Bungalows but have you heard of bungalow courts? A haven’t until now but they seem to balance privacy & shared space well - housing is centred around a shared path / green area as opposed to parking spaces!

Feel like these would fit in really well around #conservation towns & villages due to how little space they can take up - for more rural/suburban areas that don’t suit #tenements & high rises perhaps. #urbanism
