Cadoro Building

The Ca' D'Oro Building is at the corner of Glasgow's Union Street and Gordon Street, Architect John Honeyman is said to have based his design on the"Golden House" in Venice. The building became known as the Ca' D'Oro in 1927, when a restaurant of that name was opened there. In 1987 as a young fireman I attended a major fire in this lovely building, it was very badly damaged and took almost 5 years to restore. I took this shot earlier this year having just got off a train at Central Station.
