This photo shows the Odeon Cinema in Renfield St, Glasgow around 2001. The building was designed by Samuel Beverley and Frank T Verity for the Paramount Company and opened as the Glasgow Paramount Theatre on 31st December 1934.
It became an Odeon in 1939 when that company purchased all Paramount theatres in the United Kingdom.
It closed in January 2006 and despite plans to redevelop the site while retaining and restoring the Art Deco portion at the front of the former cinema, it remains vacant.
