Bucks Head Buildings, Argyle Street, Glasgow.

Designed by Alexander “Greek” Thomson in 1862, the building gets its rather odd name from the deer statue that adorns the top created by one of Glasgow's best known sculptors, John Mossman.

It is believed they decided to name it after the Buck’s Head Hotel, which stood in the same spot prior to the current building being erected. The curved corner building is unique among Thomson’s work; it is the only time he used a combination of elevated iron columns with a trabeated façade. The external supports appear to be largely structural rather than ornamental.
