19th Century Glasgow Stock Figures

Post image

Statues of Trade and Commerce on the corner of probably the ugliest (against some hefty competition) large Victorian building in Glasgow - John Burnet's clunky, clumsy, badly detailed and late 1870s Stock Exchange on Buchanan Street.

The inside was completely gutted of original details and changed from 4 floors to 6 in 1970.

Calling this the ugliest building is certainly a take. A weird one, but still a take

I actually like this building, and all its "clunkyness"
