This Is My Glasgow<p>I love the sculptures above the doors of Glasgow's traditional commercial buildings, and this one is a particular favourite. It's on Ocean Chambers at 190 West George Street, which was built in 1899 for the Ocean Accident and Guarantee Corporation, and it features the city's only known pair of walruses (although it is debatable as to whether the sculptor had ever actually seen a walrus in real life before sculpting it!). </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/walrus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walrus</span></a></p>
