Scope and Content City Chambers, No 80 George Square, Glasgow, from the north-east The City Chambers were designed in 1882 by the Paisley-born architect, William Young, in a lavish Italian Renaissance style. This photograph of the north front of the building was taken in c.1890 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The centrepiece of this richly decorated front has coupled Corinthian columns projecting between the three large ornamented second-floor windows that light the banqueting hall. Above the columns are two sculpture groups representing Peace and Justice. All the public rooms of the City Chambers were contained on the second floor of the building. These included a suite of rooms for the Lord Provost, a council chamber for formal meetings, a banqueting hall for civic events, and several reception rooms. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
