TENEMENT | TERRACE | VILLA
Our series of books on Thomson’s domestic building details in Glasgow has been so popular that we’ve just had to order a reprint of Tenement!
Happy 204th Birthday #GreekThomson and 30th Birthday congrats to the Alexander Thomson Society 🎉🎉 we're very lucky to have so many of his buildings (and 2 lamp posts!) surviving in #Glasgow's Southside... these are just some of them 🙌 https://t.co/iZpCa3pWuU 🏦
"Alexander 'Greek' Thomson was not just a Glasgow hero [although he could not have flourished anywhere else] but an architect of international stature - a towering figure in the history of European architecture. That, after all, is why the Society has been founded." Stamp #ATS30
#OTD in 1817, Alexander 'Greek' Thomson was born.
He went on to become a famous architect - find out all about him in this post by @HESEngineShed ⤵️

Great day yesterday exploring the island of Coll and discovering a few thatched roofs. Finding this pair of wee reed-thatched cottages was definitely worth the cycle! #ThatchDetectives@jshunni@HistEnvScot
The ones that got away...hunting for the thatched buildings we missed in the @spab1877 survey. Today's find was this gorgeous wee straw-thatched cottage on the Isle of Mull #thatchdetectives#thatch@jshunni@HESEngineShed
