Beresford Building

The rain has stopped and the sun has come out this morning. As I was driving down Bath Street this morning I had to stop and take a picture of the striking Beresford Building on Sauchiehall Street.

The Beresford was originally constructed as an art-deco hotel back in 1930s Glasgow with the rooms arranged around a central inner lightwell.

The University of Strathclyde acquired it for student accommodation in 1964, renaming it Baird Hall. It was sold in 2003 and work began on its re-conversion into private apartments.
