Miss Cranstons Buchanan Street Tea Rooms

This is the site of Miss Cranston's original tea rooms in Buchanan Street Glasgow. In 1896 George Walton was commissioned by her to design the interior of the building which was designed and built by George Washington Browne of Edinburgh. He was assisted in this by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
I walked up a rather chilly Buchanan Street this morning on my way to take a turn at supervising an exhibition that I am involved in at the moment. I am always amazed at the interesting buildings that we are fortunate to have in Glasgow. It'snot a very good photograph as I was using my phone.
