The Glasgow City Chambers was contructed between the dates of 1882 and 1888 and is a stunning example of Victorian architecture. Glasgow City Chambers was constructed to highlight Glasgows increased political stature and replace the old Tolbooth in the Trongate which has become redundant due to the large expansion of Glasgow.
The buildings exterior is incredibly intricate and has a vast array of ornate decoration designed to express the diversity and sense of prosperity that the Victorians held so dear. The exterior sculpture, by John Mossman, shows human figures representing Prosperity, Art, Science and Commerce, centred around a statue of Queen Victoria.
