Glasgow Buildings - Hope StreetHope StreetOne of the five richest streets in Glasgow forming, together with Buchanan, Gordon, St Vincent and West George a notably concentrated block of architectural merit. Atlantic Chambers, 43-47 Hope Street, 1899, J J Burnet A large steel-framed office block, one of Burnet’s finest designs, and the earlist to reflect American elevator buildings of the same vintage. Both elevations are distinctive: Hope Street is focused on a central chimney shaft, shooting up between oriel bays to bisect the deeply shadowed Doric eaves gallery.
