Glasgow tenement included in shortlist for Britain’s most loved private building

A Glasgow tenement dating back to 1905 has been shortlisted for Britain’s Best Loved private building.

Camphill Gate Tenement in Shawlands is a B listed building, designed by John Nisbet as the city’s first fireproof tenement. The red sandstone building stands four storeys tall above ground floor retail - an unusually tall tenement for Glasgow.

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) has narrowed it down to four buildings across the UK. Also included in the list is The Thatch in Norfolk, Berwick Lodge on the Isle of Wight, and Nunwick Barn in Yorkshire.
