Evening folks,
If you stand on the suspension bridge over the Clyde, looking south, you can see 2 rows of buildings on Carlton Place which appear identical. But if you look more closely at the row on the left, you can notice something odd. The windows of the central section (if I remember correctly) are painted on and the door has no handle, although there IS a door. Any ideas why this is?
I know buildings used to be taxed on the number of windows once upon a time, and paint on fake windows to make the building look better. However, I don't think this terrace is quite that old!
It's always bugged me. I used to sit over on the grass at Clyde st on my lunchbreak, and noticed it didn't look right one day.
