"The Riverside"

Another dusk shot at the riverside for today's blip. The illuminated building is The Clydeport Building on the corner of Robertson Street, headquarters of what was originally the Clyde Navigation Trust and then the Clyde Port Authority, it was designed by J J Burnet and built using Giffnock stone by Morrison & Mason, 1883-1886. As befits the headquarters of one of the most powerful bodies in Glasgow, the building was designed to a high specification and rivals the City Chambers for the magnificence of its interior. Stone cleaning and floodlighting carried out in 1986 enhanced the rich architectural features of the building's exterior.
