This spectacular building is the domed Clyde Navigation Trust Building (now The Clydeport Building). The Trust, established by Act of Parliament in 1858, brought city fathers, shipbuilders, merchants and industrialists together to develop and manage the River Clyde and its trade. http://www.clydewaterfront.com/clyde-heritage/the-broomielaw/clyde-navigation-trust
