It's all Greek to us
"A council has come under fire from conservationists who claim
it has not done enough to restore a city centre church regarded as
one of the most important 19th century monuments in Scotland....Five
years ago the World Monuments Fund in Britain (WMF), a conservation
charity, helped complete a £5 million restoration project on
the spire of Alexander 'Greek' Thomsons St Vincent Street Church
in Glasgow, which was built in 1859.....'I sometimes wonder whether
Glasgow realises what an architectural masterpiece the city has at
the centre....St Vincent Street Church is of international importance
as the greatest work by Alexander Greek Thomson that survives'."
