EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic McLennan Arch, serving as the entrance to Glasgow Green in Glasgow, Scotland. The arch was originally the centerpiece of the Assembly Rooms, a grand building designed by the renowned architects James and Robert Adam. The Assembly Rooms were demolished in 1890, but the arch was meticulously reconstructed and relocated to the western end of Monteith Row in 1892. The relocation of the arch was funded by James McLennan, a local philanthropist, as a gift to the city. The image, estimated to be from around 1902, captures the arch in its new setting, standing proudly at the entrance to Glasgow Green. The archway, adorned with intricate carvings and Corinthian columns, is a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of Glasgow. The surrounding greenery and trees add to the serene and picturesque scene. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, with the old Assembly Rooms visible in the background, as well as the nearby Greendyke Street. The photograph offers a unique perspective of Glasgow's history, showcasing the city's architectural evolution and the preservation of its historic landmarks. The McLennan Arch remains an iconic symbol of Glasgow's past and a beloved feature of the city's green space.
