Located in George Square, the City Chambers has functioned as the headquarters of Glasgow City Council since 1996, and of preceding forms of municipal government in the city since 1889. The building is in the Beaux arts style, an interpretation of Renaissance Classicism incorporating Italianate styles with a vast range of ornate decoration, used to express the wealth and industrial export-led economic prosperity.
