Scope and Content Banking Hall, Savings Bank of Glasgow, No 177 Ingram Street and No 99 Glassford Street, Glasgow (latterly the Trustees Savings Bank) The Savings Bank of Glasgow, designed in 1866 by the architect, John Burnet, was extended between 1894 and 1900 by his son, Sir John James Burnet, who added a magnificent domed banking hall. The architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere, photographed the building in 1900. This jewel-like banking hall, built in a Baroque style, has a leaded and glazed central dome crowned by a stone cupola. The main entrance, within a recessed columned central bay, is rich in sculpture, and there are beautifully carved cartouches within the broken pediments above the windows. At the same time, Sir John James Burnet reconstructed the rest of the bank, extending his father's original plain, three-storeyed Italianate building (background) with a galleried upper storey, and adding a rusticated ground-floor facade in Glassford Street (left).
