The Lyon Chambers, Glasgow.

On my way to the cinema this afternoon I passed the Lyon Chambers in Hope Street, Glasgow. This Glasgow Style Art Nouveau building is sadly now derelict and is one of a number of buildings identified as needing restoration.
The building was commissioned by William G. Black, lawyer and member of the Glasgow Art Club, with the lower floors intended as lawyers' offices and the upper floor as artists' studios. The building is the second reinforced concrete structure in Glasgow and amongst the first few in Britain. Building Dates1904-1907ArchitectsJames Salmon Jnr. (Salmon Son and Gillespie)
