Scottish Temperance League Offices, 106, 108 Hope Street, Glasgow

The Scottish Temperance League Offices, located at 106 and 108 Hope Street in Glasgow, is an impressive 5-storey building designed by W Forrest Salmon of Salmon and Son in 1894, with assistance from J Gaff. This gable-fronted Dutch Renaissance commercial structure features a mid-block position with service lanes to the north and south.

The building has a striking gable end facing the street and showcases a 2-light glazed tall colonnade at the ground floor, which is adorned with round-arched windows flanked by doors that have sculpted roundels above on the first floor. At the center of the first floor, there is an oriel supported by a giant order of stylised semi-engaged Corinthian columns positioned at angles, flanking two central windows. The stone mullioned and transomed windows add to the architectural detail.

On the third floor, sculpted apron panels and 4-centred heads are present, with a taller window above that is also mullioned and transomed, consisting of 9 lights. The gable is elaborately shaped and features an apex figure sculpture. Additionally, there are four return bays to Renfield Lane that exhibit similar detailing and a tall corniced wallhead stack.
