Lion Chambers, Hope Street, Glasgow G2 2TU
Dates built: 1904–1907
Architect: James Salmon Jnr (Salmon, Son & Gillespie)
Built for: William George Black

The Lion Chambers is a building in the heart of Glasgow which began construction in 1904 and was completed in 1907. It was designated as a Category A listed building in 1966.

It was made using a somewhat experimental method of construction called the Hennebique System, which involves a reinforced concrete as its main building material. The Hennebique system was first used in 1894 in Wiggen, Switzerland and the Lion Chambers was the second building in Scotland to adopt this system, and one of the first buildings in the UK.
