Here is the art-deco Beresford building/hotel, on Sauchiehall Street, where I misspent much of my youth, queuing for the garage next door too many times. Shout-out to the 3-in-1 for providing much chips and cheese, and chicken pakora at 3am over the years. <br>

Built in 1875, it had a long and interesting history as an entertaiment venue, including hosting the first ever public film screening in the city (when it was still an ice rink). It was damaged in the same fire, and despite being a listed building, and a key part of the city's social history for almost 150 years, it's now being demolished to be replaced by a soulless modern building. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sauchiehallstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sauchiehallstreet</span></a></p>
