No Wednesday Teaser this week as I was v busy yesterday so I'm sharing some concept sketches of projects I'm working on

The Wednesday Teaser Pollokshaws Burgh Hall on the edge of Pollok Country Park, Glasgow. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson in the Scottish Renaissance style and was officially opened on 7 December 1898. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with four bays facing Pollokshaws Road; the left bay featured a round-headed doorway on the ground floor with a square tower with cupola above; the right hand three bays contained three windows on the ground floor; there was a large round-headed window on the first floor flanked by two smaller windows and a crow-stepped gable above.

Correctly identified by a few folk the Wednesday Teaser was the Kings Theatre Glasgow. It was built for Howard & Wyndham Ltd under its chairman Baillie Michael Simons as a sister theatre of their Theatre Royal in the city and was designed by Frank Matcham, opening in 1904.
Frank Matcham made effective use of the prominent corner site in designing the two facades of the building. Originally, an iron canopy, made by the Saracen Foundry in Possilpark, Glasgow, wrapped around the front of the building, although this appears to have been removed by the Second World War. The facade on Bath Street is a mix of styles, with influences of Baroque and Art Nouveau in red Dumfriesshire sandstone. A pair of two storey pavilions stand near either end of the Bath Street elevation, one providing access to the main foyer whilst the other houses the scenery dock, and opens straight onto the stage. The pavilions are topped with ball finials. Originally a female statue stood on top of either pavilion, but these were removed during the war period, to prevent them becoming damaged, however were subsequently misplaced, and have never been rediscovered.

Completed in 1878 the Wednesday Teaser was the former Portobello Police station also known as the Old Town Hall. The building was designed by Robert Paterson in the Scottish baronial style, built in rubble masonry at a cost of £5,000. The design involves a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto Portobello High Street. The central bay features a three-stage tower with an arched opening flanked by columns supporting a moulded surround in the first stage, an oriel window surmounted by brattishing in the second stage and clock faces in the third stage, all surmounted by a pyramid-shaped roof with louvres on the sides and bartizans at the corners.

The Wednesday Teaser was Walmer Crescent, situated in Cessnock, Glasgow, consists of a curved row of spacious tenement flats and houses, designed by the architect Alexander Thomson and built between 1857 and 1862.

Externally the block is a seamless whole, but it is made up of seven individual buildings (including the one in Cessnock Street). The tenement has three floors over a raised basement, with a flight of steps up to the front doors. Every individual building has three doors. A center door leads to the close and staircase. The two outer doors are for the main door flats which originally had two floors, the ground floor and basement. Around the basement areas there are cast iron railings with arcaded detailing.

Completed in 1908 the Wednesday Teaser was the Clyde Navigation Trust Building on the corner of Robertson Street and the Broomielaw. Designed by renowned architect JJ Burnet in a Beaux Art Renaissance style. The building is one of the city`s architectural gems and was built to reflect the wealth associated with the shipping trade. It was constructed in two stages, with the five northern bays built in the first phase and the grand cornerpiece added later. The Trust was one of the city`s most important and powerful bodies and it originally planned its headquarters to be even larger, hence the unfinished look at the northern and eastern extremities. The facade`s sculptures (by Albert Hodge) are based on Greek mythology and are some of the best in the city.
