Bank building on Victoria Road on the Southside of Glasgow. There's been a bank on this site since at least the late 1800s. I haven't been able to find an exact date for its construction, but the style suggests this building dates from around 1920 (plus or minus ten years or so).

A low, two-storey, red sandstone nank building in Glasgow.

THE OUTDOOR MUSEUM…
I don’t know the story of this place. It’s in the city in Hobart, a building once a garage or car sales premises.

I put it at the start of the 20th century, sometime around then. There’s a big multipanelled wood-framed display window, and the upper windows above that which have an ecclesiastical design suggestive of the Holy Trinity and reminiscent of the same design theme we find in the later Spanish Mission architectural style of the 1930s.

Note the decorated facia or barge boards fastened to each projecting gable of the roof to conceal and protect the otherwise exposed end grain of the horizontal timbers or purlins of the roof. Also, the decorated horizontal beam above the display window.

The two level building is in timber with a galvanised iron roof from which a window projects.

I don’t know what the present use in the building might be. It was just one of those structures that catch the eye as you walk the city streets.
