Red ashlar #tenement block here in #KingsPark.. looks like it's from first or second decade of 1900s (or possibly even 1920s). Good to hear from a happy resident 😊 #SouthsideLockdownLens #tenements https://twitter.com/SilverHoops71/status/1264271167868862465?s=19
Ooh now we're getting into fancy #tenement details... the stylish window frames, bays & even drainpipe ironwork on these H. E. Clifford #GlasgowStyle & #ArtNouveau #tenements on Terregles Ave & Fotheringay Rd in #Pollokshields 😍😍 #SouthsideLockdownLens https://twitter.com/DavidMc88624620/status/1264611321473048577?s=19
Now we're getting into those #tenenent interior details...nice internal windows 😊 Many #tenements have been modified a lot but you can still uncover some gems behind new walls & plasterboard! Have you found original features too? #SouthsideLockdownLens đŸ“· https://twitter.com/GovanhillGo/status/1263974241306914824?s=19
Here's an unfussy 'borrow window' for #SouthsideLockdownLens ~ a simple but effective feature to spread light within many #tenements... do you have one? What else do you like about your #tenement? đŸ‘đŸ“· https://twitter.com/deirdrenotes/status/1265045205557837827?s=19
Another indoor transom or 'borrow window' for #SouthsideLockdownLens this one opens for internal building ventilation. So many innovations in #tenement design have stood the test of time & even more useful now to prevent damp & combat rising temperatures! https://twitter.com/SmithG41/status/1265203077386252288?s=19
Great post with pics of @TenementHouse11 the preserved #Glasgow #tenement in Garnethill, listing classic details of #tenements ~ cornice, bed recess, borrow window & more...do you have any of these & what other features are there? #SouthsideLockdownLens 👉 https://twitter.com/N_T_S/status/1265213609673740295?s=19
We're moving on to our next #SouthsideLockdownLens theme tomorrow but you can continue contributing photos of #tenements & their indoor/outdoor details after that... liking the random wheelbarrow, deflating birthday balloons & fab fanlight in these ones đŸ“· https://twitter.com/PaleyPaley1/status/1260940056052850690?s=19
Nice, simple 'borrow window' for ventilation here that doesn't distract from the exquisite #stainedglass internal #tenement front door below it. 💞 #SouthsideLockdownLens đŸ‘ŒđŸ“· https://twitter.com/spruceewan/status/1265763790529888256?s=19
This is a common quirk of #tenement design that no one's mentioned yet for #SouthsideLockdownLens: those presses & even more frequently *shelves* were originally doorways between tenement buildings allowing builders to move between them during construction https://twitter.com/sarasheridan/status/1258506338562260994?s=19
Just can't shake that #tenement obsession! Here's some divine details from another #Glasgow Southside abode ~ #stainedglass & #tenementtiles 😍 #SouthsideLockdownLens @TnmntTiles đŸ“· https://twitter.com/SaskiadeRM/status/1266321892090224640?s=19
This is curious... #tenement shelves that couldn't have acted as a door to the next building during construction as it's the end of the block! Guessing they became fitted as standard& folk expected them or they'd feel hard done by? #SouthsideLockdownLens đŸ“· https://twitter.com/spruceewan/status/1265967945668333568?s=19
A half circle hanging stair in your 1874 #tenement... nothing to complain about there! Love the #lookup perspective & rounded off with nice ironwork in the bannister railings 😊 #SouthsideLockdownLens đŸ“·đŸ’• https://twitter.com/SionnachAirgid/status/1266844654617661443?s=19
Still life in a Southside tenement close #SouthsideLockdownLens #Glasgow #tenements #tenementtiles #stainedglass @TnmntTiles đŸ“· https://twitter.com/DlzFilms/status/1266769541826297856?s=19
Another older Southside spiral stair #tenement close... nice to #lookdown these spirals sometimes as well as #lookup 👌 #SouthsideLockdownLens đŸ“· https://twitter.com/crumbstick/status/1267020549852626950?s=19
The curved sweep of the tenement block's backcourt is quite impressive here, plus a dainty #GlasgowStyle @TnmntTiles, no messin' waste management... and of course we all really need some space 👌 #SouthsideLockdownLens đŸ“· https://twitter.com/PaleyPaley1/status/1271765653263921154?s=19
Gotta admit kinda smitten with these #ArtNouveau #tenementtiles...more such #Muirend treasures in our timeline please! 💖 And good railings with bee-friendly flowers really complete a building... what are your fav #tenement features? #SouthsideLockdownLens https://twitter.com/fablevstudios/status/1271469836590350336?s=19
Stone carved animals spotted on #tenement buildings... a green man, a bird and a serpent (or is it a dragon)? Great details spotted for our #SouthsideLockdownLens community archive project... what are your favourite tenement details? đŸ“· https://twitter.com/fablevstudios/status/1272507293603676161?s=19
