Crusty's photo is from the roof of the Q-Park, its always worth zooming up in the lift to the roof of any multi storey cark park, the views can be surprising, witness Crusty's pic of St. Andrews (from the same car park) in the "Glasgow Photos" thread.
The problem with the building you posted, Ken, is that you can begin to see the dreaded white "weeping" already :twisted:

Yeah, I see that. It's definitely a building which looks best on a dull wet day :)

The Kinning Park pumping station isn't in my favourite red/white style but it's a damn fine brick building :-) I remember viceroy saying this was a favourite of his.

Yes, I like this building a lot. It looks restrained and dignified although probably the same cannot be said for what goes on inside it :)

I could glimpse machinery through the windows, it would be a interesting place to see inside.

Here's one I spotted today in Gateside Street in Dennistoun, not very impressive but
it must have been a huge window at one point:-

Now that I've sobered up, I realise I should have

Looks like this one may be not long for this world.

This doesn't really belong here (wrong style), I just like the lighting :-)
