Glasgow community fights to save its historic car park

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2007 / August 6

A Grade B listed multi-storey car park in Glasgow's West End is at the centre of a campaign to save it from demolition. The green and white terracotta tiles on the front of the Botanic Gardens Garage have been a feature of the area since it was built in 1911. But the building, which was designed by architect David Valentine Wyllie and is thought to be the oldest surviving custom-built garage in Glasgow, could make way for 35 flats, four mews cottages, shops and a restaurant by Keppie Design if a planning application by the current landowner Arnold Clark is approved.
