A couple more Art Deco buildings in Bathgate.
This one looks like an ex-Woolworths but is now a Poundland. Typical deco styling:-

Deco touches:-

Bank of Scotland. This may be later but has deco elements, especially the tall window:-

The Pavilion, an ex-cinema, isn’t truly deco as it was built in 1920 but it prefigures the style. Note the Rule of Three in the front windows and door:-

This one’s in the east end of the city centre part of Argyle Street. I missed it last December but got a photo early last month. Superstructure and windows. Nice scrolling on the stonework and lovely stained glass but needing cleaned up methinks:-

Pity it’s so dilapidated. Close-up on the windows:-

At the bottom of Buchanan Street and on the corner of Argyle Street and St Enoch Square is what used to be Arnotts department store and is now a branch of Bank of Scotland.

Below is the Argyle Street elevation of HSBC. For Buchanan Street elevations see here.

Under the Hielanman’s Umbrella is this entrance to Glasgow Central Station:-

There is a similar entrance on the south side of the street. (Stitch of two photos.)

Below is the Argyle Street frontage of the Mackintoshed up building whose Union Street aspect I featured here. Again a stitch of two.
