retooted This Is My Glasgow
The former Phoenix Assurance Building on St Vincent Street in central Glasgow. Designed by Alex D. Hislop and constructed in 1912, it was one of the first American-influenced Modern Classical style mini-skyscraper in the city. The same style was quickly adopted by other financial institutions, including the nearby Bank of Scotland building designed by James Miller in the mid-1920s.
