Film crews transform landmark Glasgow building into vintage New York

A LANDMARK Glasgow building was transformed into vintage New York for filming.

Production crews have descended on the Mitchell Library over the weekend where they appear to have set up props and set decorations.

American flags have been installed along the external facade of the stunning library, while an old-fashioned coffee cart has appeared nearby.

Meanwhile, a poster which has been put up on the set also hints that the location could be Albany, the capital of the state of New York.

The drama is set in 1890s New York and is based on Edith Wharton’s final and unfinished novel of the same name.

Filming has been taking place in the city recently, with production teams pictured on Kelvin Way in the West End last week.
