Comment | Except the City Chambers was built in 1888, 50 years *after* the UK abolished slavery and the exterior is built out of granite from Aberdeenshire, Stirling and Dunbartonshire while the interior stonework is made from Scottish stone and Italian marble. The glass is at least partially Venetian while the furnishings are a mixture of Spanish, Italian and Cuban.
Of all the buildings in George Square, The City Chambers is probably the least colonial building of the lot. |
