@thisismyglasgow.bsky.socialThe Coplaw Street facade of the Govanhill branch of the Glasgow Savings Bank, with tenement flats above what was originally the ground floor banking premises. Designed by J.C. McKellar, it was built in 1903.

@pastglasgow.co.ukThere are so few surviving fragments of old Pollokshaws left, that this beautiful turn of the 20th century corner tenement on Riverford Rd qualifies despite being a "modern" addition to the 17th century weaving village.
@professoremily.bsky.socialOk well, I did already post the song I think of for the ending of #Tenement on Day 13 (see below), but there's a vocal version of it too that I imagine playing over the closing credits 🥹❤️
@professoremily.bsky.socialMERCY by Muse for Noah/Mortimer from #Tenement.
It could be seen as "Noah vs Mortimer," but I think it also fits as something they'd both sing at different points. Noah AND Mortimer vs the Tenement. One lost the battle; the other is still fighting.

@thisismyglasgow.bsky.socialGlasgow's first bank, it was founded by Andrew Buchanan of Drumpellier, after whom the city's Buchanan Street was named, and some of the other city's Tobacco Lords to bank the fortunes they made from the slave plantations of Virginia.

@thisismyglasgow.bsky.socialI'll be selling this and other Glasgow-themed calendars at a pop-up stall at the St Enoch Centre on Saturday, but if you can't make it, you can also buy them from my website at: www.thisismyglasgow.com/product-cate....
@thisismyglasgow.bsky.socialA few people have been asking what my calendars look like inside, so here's the one featuring art nouveau tiles from Glasgow tenements.

@professoremily.bsky.socialThis one I imagine sung to Noah from an important character in #Tenement, but who is a spoiler. If any of my Tenement conspiracy theorists find this, they'll have some ideas of who I mean 😂❤️

@professoremily.bsky.social@professoremily.bsky.socialMissed a few days but I'm back!
For #Tenement, I have a few kind of eerie, unsettling instrumental tracks in my playlist. Let's go with this one from THE GREEN KNIGHT ost because it really hits that escalating unease & tension:
@thisismyglasgow.bsky.socialBuilt in the 1890s, the design is credited to A.B. MacDonald, but this may have been an implimentation of a design created by John Carrick (MacDonald's predessessor in the City Improvement Trust) in the 1870s.

@professoremily.bsky.socialNoah's first impression isn't *usually* all that remarkable. He tends to come across as a thoughtful guy who can be a little intense, but doesn't stand out too much.
However, SOMETIMES his first impression is "guy who broke through your wall." Depends on the circumstances 🤣
