Benefrey on Springkell Avenue in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Designed by William Hunter McNab in a Franco-Scottish Gothic style, it was built in 1910, making it one of the last grand villas built in Pollokshields.
It was built for John Anderson, a director of the construction company P and W Anderson, which, amongst other important Glasgow buildings, helped build the Central Hotel, the Glasgow Herald Building and the Mitchell Library.
Matheran from Springkell Avenue in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Designed by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers in a Scots Baronial style, this magnificent house was built in 1903 for Hugh Dunsmuir of the Govan Engine Works. In the 1960s, Matheran became the Glasgow School of Occupational Therapy, but is now once again a residential property.

Love the shape of this tenement close entrance on on Fotheringay Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in 1902, it was designed by H.E. Clifford, who also designed Pollokshields Burgh Hall, which I featured in my previous post.

The former Pollokshields West Church on the corner of Nithsdale Road and Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in the 1870s, it has a distinctly Thomsonesque look, but was designed by W.G. Rowan.

A fantastic set of three Thomsoneseque attic windows on Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. I love the shape of the space created between them, which somehow seems just as solid as the surrounding stone.

"Actor and musician Tom Urie [...] was walking past when the building collapsed just after midnight.
He said: “I was walking past and started hearing weird noises coming from the building. At first I thought people were throwing things but I soon felt a rumble.” [...] “I looked up and the building was looking really weird, and I ran across the street as it collapsed.” [...] “I turned around, and the building was gone.""

Whitehall on Springkell Avenue beside Maxwell Park on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by Robert Duncan in a Classical style, this villa was constructed in the 1890s. I love the little round dormer window which looks like a ship's porthole. This similarity may well be intentional as its first owner was William Gray of the shipowner and chandlers MacBeth and Gray.
