The image shows the staircase and a stained-glass window within a tenement building, in Glasgows southside.

This is an image of a stained glass panel. The panel features a bird in flight and a branch with floral detail.

Good morning, folks!

There’s been quite an influx of people to our page, over the last week. I just want to thank you all for the follows, shout-outs, shares and likes.

Whether you’re new to the archive, or migrating from Twitter/x, I do hope you enjoy the newest branch of our little project.

Project mission statement:

Our main goal here is to encourage a better appreciation of our historic built environment, as well as offering advice on mending, sourcing, and generally looking after these amazing features.

We are an inclusive project, so you don’t need to be an architectural expert to join in the hunt for images. We’d appreciate when sharing a find with the group of a private residence, that you do not give an exact address of where the image was taken. This is for the security of the residents.

We have zero tolerance on hate speech, and encourage community contributors to stay on topic when posting to our page. We understand there’s a lot going on in the world, and we all have strong opinions, but let this group be an island of wholesome content in the sea of hot takes.

Thank you.
TT

Any architect or interior designer should be following tenament tiles...along with anyone else who takes an interest in what's behind that close door.

Since my decision to stop posting to X/Twitter, and restarting here, the project has lost 2k+ followers.

It’s disheartening, but the project is 10yrs old this year, and I hope it’ll be around for 10 more.

To those who have stuck with us, and to those new to the project, thank you.

We can rebuild.

@tnmnttiles.bsky.social this is in my own building. The rest of the hallway is decrepit and horrible but this part has lovely tile.

A pretty green tile with an orange flower art featured in the middle of it.

We were very happy to find these walls and floors intact and well cared for.

Looking down grey marble stairs, across the tiled walls and floors of a narrow apartment building vestibule, with glass doors, and an arched window above the entrance doorway.

Most Tenements have factors that deal with the common areas these days. I remember when it was a rota, and folk took their turn to clean. Folk felt more invested that way.

I’ve seen some right sights over the years. Fled from a few. :)

This image shows a staircase within an older tenement building. There is shoulder height tiling and a wooden banister, with unusual balustrade painted with white paint.

View through the 1st landing window, to a leafy green shared back court. Original painted glass remains in the upper third of the window.

I did the public tour just before folk were moved in. If I recall, there’s spider inlay at the entrance which is an unusual detail?

My flat has a very similar painted glass window in the door! Less nice tiles though

Close up of painted glass window of a youth fishing

View of door with the window in it. Door is painted blue, bottom half of the close is tiled with a green and white checker pattern at the top of the tiled part

Certainly looks like the same character. The framing details are different though. Will see if I can find the close up, we can play spot the difference :)

A small peek into a decade of street stomping and stairwell lurking. I hope to organise a proper celebration before the year is out.

Thank you for the likes and shares, today. 10 years of work, is worth noting even in a small way.
