Then Relax on the 3rd Floor at Phuket Thai Massage
Nestled in Glasgow City Centre, Waterloo Chambers is a distinguished Category B listed building built in 1899 for the Trustees of James Kirkland—an excellent example of Victorian-era commercial architecture. Designed by Sir J. J. Burnet, the building is a striking display of classical elegance with a rich, red sandstone façade, sash windows, and ornate stonework and balconies.
Architectural Highlights
- The symmetrical seven-storey structure (with outer bays rising to five storeys) features polished red ashlar at street level, a central entrance with wrought-iron grille, and a prominent bay window framed by a broken pediment and “WATERLOO CHAMBERS” frieze
- Upper floors introduce corbelled balconies, pilasters, Greek Ionic columns, and an impressive eaves gallery with bracketed cornices—details that reflect Burnet’s flair for combining grandeur with commercial purpose
Built for Glasgow’s Golden Age
Waterloo Chambers stands as a testament to Glasgow’s boom period—when trade and industry transformed the city into the “Second City of the Empire.” Though not as towering as municipal buildings like City Chambers (completed in 1888), Waterloo Chambers shares the Victorian ambition for architectural presence and ornate embellishment.
