Martyrs' Public School, Art Nouveau school building in Townhead, Glasgow, Scotland.
The red sandstone structure features separate entrances for boys, girls, and infants, with galleries providing access to multiple classrooms around a central space.
Commissioned by the School Board of Glasgow and constructed between 1895 and 1898, the building replaced an earlier school that served the growing student population.
The name honors Church of Scotland Covenanters who were executed for their religious beliefs in 1684, reflecting an important period in Scottish religious history.
Located near Junction 15 of the M8 motorway and Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the building now functions as office accommodation with 1,018 square meters of space.
The structure incorporates timber constructions above staircases and atriums that display influences from Japanese architectural design within its Art Nouveau framework.
