Designed by James Sellars, with sculptures by John Mossman, it was built in the 1870s. It's now part of the city's Mitchell Library.

The changing face of Charing Cross in Glasgow. For a short period between the demolition of an old building and the construction of its replacement, the Mitchell Library will be visible from the pedestrian approach to Charing Cross Station.

The halls were gutted by fire in 1962, and only this facade, which has since been incorporated into the Mitchell Library complex, now remains.

Yesterday, I dodged the gloom and the unrest, found my way to the #MitchellLibrary, and dug in to a few volumes of emigration registers and a few microfiche slides. I was on the hunt for the name "Chambers".

This carpet, along with a number of others with rather eye-catching designs, were created when the library was extended in the 1970s to incorporate the remnants of the old Saint Andrew's Halls, which had burned down in 1962.

The halls, which dated from the 1870s, were badly damaged in a fire in 1962, and only this facade, with its magnificent statues by John and William Mossman, could be saved. It was later incorporated into an extension to the neighbouring Mitchell Library.

The Granville Street entrance to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow is flank by these two strapping lads. They're survivors from the Saint Andrew's Halls, which once occupied this site.
