The Egyptian Halls, Category A listed commercial building in Glasgow, Scotland
The Egyptian Halls features four stories with eighteen window bays, incorporating classical elements through stone columns and decorative scroll capitals on Union Street.
Alexander Greek Thomson designed this commercial structure between 1870 and 1872 for iron manufacturer James Robertson as one of his final major projects.
The building incorporates Greek classical architecture with Corinthian elements, contrary to its name suggesting Egyptian influences in its architectural composition.
The ground floor maintains retail spaces while upper floors remain vacant, with scaffolding surrounding the structure due to its deteriorating condition.
The architectural design places thick stone columns on the top floor instead of the ground level, opposing traditional Victorian construction methods.
