Old Sheriff Court for Glasgow and Lanarkshire
Wikipedia:
"The structure was commissioned to serve as the city and county buildings for the City of Glasgow[a] and Lanarkshire respectively. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 18 November 1842. The southern section, forming the city and county buildings, and the central section, forming the Merchant's House, were designed by Clarke & Bell in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and were completed in 1844. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage facing onto the Wilson Street; the central section was formed by a stylobate on which was placed a full-height hexastyle portico with Ionic order columns supporting an entablature, a frieze and a pediment."
Now the prime occupant is "Citation" - a night club and event venue which is a popular space for weddings!
