Abstrakt: Glasgow City Chambers was built in the 1880s and is considered to be one of the finest examples of municipal building in the UK. The structure and building services of the building and the construction processes which brought them about are described. Superficially the building embodies tradition: ornate stone inside and out with many Italianate stylistic features. However, hidden from view are vast amounts of plumbing, heating, ventilating and utilities. At a time of transition for many of these building services, Glasgow was keen to show off its technical prowess and the chambers building was one of the earliest significant public buildings to have electric lighting from the start. This paper will look at the remaining traces of these original services, the problems the building has encountered and changes that have taken place over the decades. The paper adds to the history of the technology of municipal buildings.
