Reflections in Central Station

Got the train into Glasgow today as we had Doors Open at Mackintosh Queen's Cross. So it has been a busy day giving visitors a tour of our wonderful building.

As I passed through Central Station this morning I loved this reflection of the roof structure and Grand Central Hotel.

Glasgow Central Station and the Hotel were designed by Robert Rowand Anderson, a well-known Scottish architect also noted for his design of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh and Mount Stuart House in Bute.

The engineer, Donald Matheson, provided the dramatic roofscape of arched girders over the station extension. This is a much beloved and superbly restored temple of the industrial revolution.

I was asked yesterday for an image of the Arlington Baths Club. Hope you like it.
