I think such work is really important for Glasgow as a city, which has some wonderful buildings! It would have had many more if past authorities had a bit of foresight and imagination, instead of knocking them down for the sake of it! The building which always comes to my mind in that regard is St Enoch Station and Hotel. It was a scandalous decision to demolish such a fantastic building, which could have added greatly to Glasgow's cultural heritage!
Good to see there may be hope for The Whitevale Baths. The heinous crimes that was imposed upon the city in the name of progression throughout the years truly is shocking. Edinburgh managed to retain its old town and regenerate around it. Glasgow was always intent to demolish; decimate and destruct. Was good to see the Lion chambers on Hope St earlier. Was this a buiding preservation project? One gets a good view of it from atop a double decker bus. I recallyears back going to the stationers on the ground floor for supplies. Then one day it was closed. I was advised due to some upgrade works. It did however, re open- but seemed to disappear again pretty soon after. I never did find out why. Again, i'm unsure if the building is actually tenanted now, given i've not been up that way since pre covid... Hari
