The Ca d’Oro Building is a commercial building in the Scottish city of Glasgow. The building was made a Category B listed building in 1970 and was then upgraded to Category A in 1988 after being restored from a fire.
The building was constructed in 1872 as Möbelwarenhaus F and J Smith’s Furniture Warehouse at a cost of £11,000. The Scottish architect John Honeyman was responsible for the design.

Between 1926 and 1929, the building was expanded and partially revised according to a design by the Glaswegian architecture office of Gillespie Kidd & Coia Architects. A fire devastated the building in 1987.
When it was rebuilt, the interior was replaced by an atrium surrounded by shops. The property restoration has been recognized by the Scottish Civic Trust.
Inspired by the Ca’ d’Oro in Venice, the Ca d’Oro Building is designed in the style of Venetian Renaissance architecture. Set on the corner between Union Street and Gordon Street in the centre of Glasgow, the building is just north of the Egyptian Halls, with Glasgow Central train station opposite across Union Street.
Location: Glasgow, Strathclyde, southwest Scotland, UK
