Our Thomson150 Exhibition is on display again at Edward House from 13th January through to 22nd January.
Alexander "Greek" Thomson was a Scottish architect and architectural theorist, and pioneer in sustainable building practices. Less well known globally than his peer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Alexander's legacy is rooted in Glasgow and is still admired today.
We are delighted to be hosting an exhibition by The Alexander Thomson Society marking the 150th anniversary of the death of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson in the Sauchiehall Street Culture and Heritage District Project Space.
Alexander and his partners designed more than 150 buildings across Glasgow and the west of Scotland, including Holmwood House, Great Western Terrace, Moray Place, St Vincent Street Church, Grecian Chambers (now the CCA building in Sauchiehall Street) as well as warehouses, offices, hotels, terraces and tenements. Many may have been lost over time, but much remains.
Opening times:
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 12.00-5.00pm
Address:
Edward House, 199 Sauchiehall Street, G2
This exhibition was created in partnership with Glasgow Life, The Mitchell Library, and with support from Minuteman Press.
