An abandoned palace, once home to an affluent and successful professor of medicine. Now renovated! Lisbon, Portugal 
Manoir Colimaçon (Spiral Manor). A late 19th-century mansion that lies abandoned somewhere in northern France.
Inside, the spiral stairway offers some wonderful photo opportunities! This helical service stair links all floors, built with blocky concrete columns and covered in small white tiles.
The first photo is looking up through the heart of the spiral staircase!

Absolutely love this grotesque on the former Coats Memorial Church in Paisley. Built in 1894, this church was designed in a Gothic Revival style by H.J. Blanc and it's covered in some fantastic Gothic-inspired sculptures and carvings. It's now used as an events venue.
John Nisbet's impressive 1906 Camphill Gate Tenement on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. The owners have done a huge amount of work to conserve this tenement, and it would be great to see this complimented by some period-appropriate signage on the retail spaces on the ground floor.
Sunset at Zaha Hadid's 2011 Riverside Museum on Pointhouse Quay in Glasgow. Reflected in the lower window is the 2024 Govan-Partick Pedestrian bridge, with the buildings of Govan beyond that.
It's FOR[A] Friday!

In 2015, the SNO moved to a new home in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall at the top of Buchanan Street, and the building returned to ecclesiastical use as the Tron Kelvingrove Church.
The former Trinity Congregational Church on Claremont Street in the West End of Glasgow. Designed in Gothic style by John Honeyman, it was built in 1864. In 1979, it became home to the Scottish National Orchestra after its previous home, the nearby St Andrew's Halls, burned down in 1962. At this point, the church was renamed the Sir Henry Wood Hall after one of the UK's most famous conductors.

Wanted to make it feel like a painting because it is so magical and fantastical looking! I hope someday to find a little bird living in the house!

There are some weird little bits of architecture around Glasgow. This one is wedged between a tenement and its neighbouring building on Pollokshaws Road on the city's Southside. I can't work out if the broken windows are from something on the outside trying to break in or, perhaps more worryingly, something inside trying to break out!
High up on the battered walls of the Pantheon, in Rome, there is a row of rectangular windows. I don't know their purpose, but I just love these nearly 2,000-year-old walls. They continue to support what is still the world's largest, un-reinforced, concrete dome.
Love this stained glass on Ross's Original Bar on Mitchell Street in Glasgow. It's housed in Gordon Chambers which was designed by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers, and was built in 1905. I presume this is also when the stained glass dates from.
A classic example of a red sandstone corner tenement at the junction of Haggs Road and Pollokshaws Road on the southside of Glasgow. It was built in 1901.
One of the buildings of the former Leverndale Hospital in the Crookston area of Glasgow. Designed by Malcolm Stark and Rowntree in a Renaissance Revival style, it was opened in 1895 as the Govan District Asylum. I love the way the windows step up the internal stairs.
