Sandstone tenement offices - 19 Lynedoch Street/Terrace (2011 visit & 2013 update):
Located in the west end of the city on the northern side of Kelvingrove Park and across from the classical crescent which was designed by George Smith 1845-48. This plain blond sandstone three storey tenement style Victorian building occupies the corner of Lynedoch Street and Lynedoch Terrace and is a former office. The building is B-listed, vacant and in visibly undergoing significant deterioration as its vacant status slides into dereliction.
The stonework is heavily eroded particularly at the rear where missing stones have allowed pigeons ingress to the building itself. Planning permission was granted to convert to 8 flats, subsequently superceded by an application (Aug 2010) to demolish the building and replace with a modern 'fake' tenement style design matching the scale of the existing building, but foregoing any attempt to restore or refurbish and opt for the sustainable choice. Once again the depressed economy is a derelict building's ally as currently all attempts to redevelop this site have been shelved. Meanwhile though the condition of this once proud Victorian structure continues to deteriorate.

2013 update:
Some very recent photographs of this 19th century former terraced house, and latterly offices. Over two years since this last visit, the building had continued to deteriorate and remain unused despite its prominent location near the foot of Park Circus, a mere 250yds from Woodlands Road.
The stone erosion continued unchecked, slipped slates and failure of the roof eaves is present, some smashed panes and numerous fragments of wall stonework missing allowing the ingress of moisture and pigeons.
2014 has apparently seen the final death-knell with the building being undergoing demolition
