The property also benefits from its own private seating area immediately outside the flat entrance, providing a quiet spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind.
A building with history

Built between 1906 and 1910, The McConnell Building is a striking Category B Listed red sandstone landmark and an important part of Glasgow's architectural heritage. Designed by renowned architect John Keppie of Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh, the original plans also bear the signature of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, adding to the building's historical significance. The distinctive rooftop turrets originally housed communal wash houses, while the flat roof served as a drying area for residents. Over the years, the building has featured in both The Herald and The Glasgow Times, cementing its reputation as one of the city's most notable residential buildings.
