Templeton On The Green, Category A listed building near Glasgow Green, Scotland.
The red and cream brick building displays intricate patterns and ornamental details across its facade, resembling the Doge's Palace in Venice.
The Templeton Carpet Factory, completed in 1892, experienced a tragic accident during construction when its facade collapsed, causing 29 deaths.
The structure represents Glasgow's industrial manufacturing period, when the city produced luxurious carpets for customers across the British Empire.
The building now houses 143 apartments, offices, and the WEST brewery restaurant following a £22 million renovation project in 2005.
The architect William Leiper designed such an elaborate building to ensure Glasgow Corporation would not reject the construction permit.
