The best building in Glasgow, and what we can learn from its tragedy
Someone else who shares my love for it is Colin Drysdale, a photographer and writer who's known for the social media account This Is My Glasgow where he posts pictures of some of the city's finest buildings. Colin has now written a book, Glasgow Uncovered, which features 18 walks round the city and I went out with him the other day to stroll round the St Vincent Street area and talk about the buildings we came across and some of the details I might have missed (there were many). The Mercantile Insurance building was only one of the places we visited but it sticks in my mind not only because I love the look of it but because of the tragedy of the place. One of the details I'd previously missed, which Colin pointed out, is the sculpture of the ship to the right of the door and the letters carved into the sails: IOU. The sculptor Archibald Dawson left the letters there in frustration really because the project hit financial problems and he was never paid for his work. And it gets worse, sadly. The fact Dawson wasn't paid was the start of almost a decade of financial woes for him, and in 1936 his business was taken over by a former apprentice, Jack Mortimer, in lieu of debts. One of the other rather sad features of the building is the pair of statues of a man and woman above the front door: it was Mortimer who sculpted them and he based the figures on Dawson and his wife as a tribute to his ruined mentor. The sadness is in with the stone. The story of the architect, John James Burnet, is also not without unhappiness. Burnet built some extraordinary places, including the Clydeport offices with its great dome and bulls and doric columns, and Charing Cross Mansions, that elegant swoop of apartments saved from the destruction of the M8 by the skin of its teeth. But he had financial problems too, caused in part by trying to fix the foundations of the Mercantile, and when he retired early, he was stressed and troubled and damaged. These are the kind of stories that don't show when you look at a building, or don't show much. Read more The Argyle Street Gap – what does it say about Glasgow? The TV channel that saved us, and heralds the change to come Eurovision 2025: the year they fixed their Israel problem However, the stories of Burnet, and Dawson, and the Mercantile, and some of Burnet's other buildings, can at least point us to a few lessons, the first of which is about protection. Some of Burnet's finest and most famous buildings, including the old Alhambra Theatre on Waterloo Street, have been demolished and replaced with something worse (in the Alhambra's case, crappy offices). But one of the critical points Colin Drysdale made on our walk was that the buildings that are struggling to find tenants are the ugly modern ones, not the old ones because people want to be in one of Glasgow's beautiful classic buildings. So do not demolish. Protect and reuse. There's also a lesson in the way Burnet and other architects of the time worked. As we made our way up St Vincent Street, Colin asked me to turn round and look back down the hill at the buildings and the way they fit in with each other, elegantly maintaining a similar height. One of the reasons for this is that Burnet was part of a network of architects who lived and worked in the city; they were walking the streets every day and talking to each other and knew what their colleagues were doing, so it all held together rather than clashed. It worked. As Colin points out, the problem with a lot of the modern design in Glasgow is it no longer works in the same way and many of the buildings are designed by architects with little or no knowledge of the place. If instead of walking the streets of the city, you're looking at a computer screen in some other place, there's a good chance the buildings you create won't fit in with what's there. There's a good chance it won't work. The Hatrack (Image: Contributed) The ultimate answer is much stricter planning, specifically zones in the city that lay out what is, and isn't, acceptable. The strictest zone needs to be in the centre, where Colin and I did our walk, because that's where the finest buildings are and where the greatest damage can be done. You could then relax the rules as you go further from the centre. Across the river, for example, the big Barclay's development could still be possible because it incorporates what's already there and reflects some of the industrial heritage of the Clyde, and it's not at all bad, all things considered. What would never be acceptable though would be the idea of demolishing buildings such as the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company or anything like it and if you think that's far-fetched, just up from the Mercantile is a bland office building where Greek Thomson's offices once stood. The Thomson buildings were pulled down in the 2000s despite widespread protest. And look around you: it's still happening. The battle to stop it will be won, I think, when more and more people start to appreciate why Glasgow's architecture needs protecting and there's evidence of it happening, thanks in a large part to sites such as Colin's. I would also urge you, next time you're in the city, to take a walk up St Vincent Street and stop at the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company and look for the hidden IOU but mainly just stand back and admire the building. As I said, I think it's the best one in Glasgow. But I would also say that it's only one of the greats, the many greats. The job we've got is to celebrate them, and praise them, and value them, and save them.

Facing mounting deficit, Austin ISD will cut central office staff, weighs school closures
The Austin school district will be reorganizing its central office, including eliminating and reassigning positions, as part of its ongoing effort to cut its budget deficit from $97 million to $78 million. The district's austerity measures also align with discussions about potentially closing schools within the next year to slash long-term expenses. Officials say these measures are essential to maintain financial stability, after a year of budget cuts aimed at reducing a deficit that had grown to $110 million by January. The central office cuts will involve both staff reductions and reassignments, Superintendent Matias Segura wrote in a public letter Friday. 'We recognize the timing of this announcement puts a strain on our central employees,' Segura said in the letter. 'Please know we did not arrive at this decision lightly.' The district is projecting a budget deficit of $19 million for the 2025-26 school year, but won't reach that target without making significant changes, interim Chief Financial Officer Katrina Montgomery told school board members during a meeting last week. This could put the district's fund balance — or cash on hand — at risk, she said. 'That puts us in the place where we might have to borrow to cover payroll as well as accounts payable,' Montgomery said. District leaders cut $63 million from the 2024-25 budget through spending and hiring freezes and streamlining operations, according to district officials. However, the district's predicted costs have also risen this year. When the Austin school board adopted its 2024-25 budget last summer, it predicted a $78 million deficit. Since then, the district received $14 million less in property tax revenue, overspent by $40 million on special education, and lost $12 million in federal Medicaid reimbursements. The district has pledged approximately $1.7 million each to three North Austin middle schools — Burnet, Dobie, and Webb — next year to improve their state-rated F rankings. As part of long-term efforts to reduce costs, the district expects to close some of its 116 campuses before the 2026-27 school year and has pledged to announce its plans before the end of this year. Earlier this month, district officials announced plans for community conversations over the summer and to develop a framework for identifying schools that may be considered for closure. Officials don't expect to release the list of potential schools up for closure until the fall. The district has grappled with declining enrollment for nearly a decade, resulting in smaller student populations at some schools and a loss of state funding. Texas funds school districts per child in attendance. The district's student population has declined by about 10% since 2019, when it enrolled 79,787 students. Current enrollment, at 72,244 this year, has remained relatively steady since 2022. In discussing possible school closures, the Austin district joins other urban or large suburban districts around the state, like Fort Worth and Spring Branch, seeking ways to temper crippling budget shortfalls. The Austin district is asking families and community members to fill out a survey about possible school closures, or consolidations, by June 6.
