The Beresford, Art Deco hotel building in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Beresford stands ten stories tall with dual elevators and displays characteristic Art Deco architectural elements throughout its sandstone exterior construction.
The building opened in 1938 to accommodate visitors for Glasgow's Empire Exhibition and later served as quarters for American and British military during World War II.
The structure marked a significant shift in Glasgow's architectural landscape as the tallest building constructed between World War I and World War II.
Located at 460 Sauchiehall Street, the former hotel now contains 121 private residences, maintaining its original Art Deco entrance and architectural features.
Future President John F Kennedy delivered his first public address at this location in 1939, marking the beginning of his political speaking career.
