Scope and Content Entrance Hall, Anchor Line Building, Nos 12-16 St Vincent Place, Glasgow The Anchor Line Building, designed by the Glasgow architect, James Miller, was built in 1905-7 for the Anchor Line Shipping Company. This photograph of the entrance hall of the building was taken in 1909 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The hall has fine oak woodwork including wainscot panelling, and a segmental panel with fluted Ionic columns and cartouches surrounding a marble chimneypiece. The ceiling and frieze have exuberant 18th-century style plasterwork decorated with wreaths, modillions and swagged fruit. The entrance hall reflects the opulence of a first-class steamship saloon and was intended as a waiting room for first-class passengers wishing to book a passage across the Atlantic to America or Canada. Second- and third-class passengers were accommodated elsewhere in the building. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
