Abstract

Lion Chambers in Hope Street, Glasgow, an eight-storeyed shop/office building, is of interest as an early example of entirely reinforced concrete construction as well as a curious example of reinforced concrete architecture (Pl. i). It was designed and built in 1904–07 for William George Black, a Glasgow lawyer and writer, in Hennebique’s system; foundations, frame, floors, roof, chimneys, stairs and outer panel walls were all reinforced concrete.
