It’s an incredible building.
I imagine the design brief just said ‘Make it grand… Oh and marble.. As much marble as you can fit in there… then some more.’
Very high Victorian.

The remnants of the Anderston Centre are like a little glimpse of the past. Such an odd survival amongst so much redevelopment.
