The Athenaeum building

The Category A Listed Athenaeum building Link

occupies a narrow site on Buchanan Street. It was designed in 1891-3 by Sir John James Burnett Link

in a style described by Historic Scotland as "eclectic with Renaissance detail, pioneer vertical (elevator)".

The building was designed as a school for drama students, a purpose which it served until 2008 when the RSAMD moved to their new premises in nearby Renfrew Street. The building contained a theatre, billiard room, dining room and gymnasium.

After 2008, it operated for a few years as "Razzle Dazzle", a discount fashion and home store. In 2013 the building was converted to the Glasgow Hard Rock Cafe Link
