Around 288 Court Street.

This house is 289 Court St...we live there now but it certainly is and nice to see what it used to look like....Judy Bright

Nice house! Thanks for letting us know. KPL

7/3/18. This house has always intrigued me. It has been white for as long as I can remember. The awnings and the porch top fencing are long gone, but it is still an intriguing example of architectural design. Would love to see the inside.

Astonishing photos of old Glasgow.

What's shocking is how much it looks the same today!

I wish it did. The greenery around the square looks much better than the red tarmac they have now.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called elegance in art, graphics and design, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

sometime in 2013 George square is going to get a revamp and all the statues you see here are all getting taken away.

Alfred A. "Al" Bernard (1888-1949) was an American vaudeville singer, known as "The Boy From Dixie", who was most popular during the 1910s through early 1930s. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Bernard became a blackface singer in minstrel shows before starting his recording career around 1916.   Bernard composed and recorded more than 100 songs in the first three decades of the 20th century.   He was one of the first white singers to record blues songs.   W. C. Handy credited Bernard with helping his own career by recording a number of his songs, notably "St. Louis Blues".  Bernard recorded the song for nine different record labels, the most successful being what Handy called "the sensational Victor recording in which he sang with the Dixieland Jazz Band". For a brief period in the early 20's Bernard was teamed with Jimmy Durante and wrote the lyrics for "Papa String Bean" for Durante.  He teamed up with the ragtime composer J. Russell Robinson in a vaudeville team called the Dixie Stars and they recorded songs together for a number of famous labels.  Bernard usually sang while Robinson played the piano and added some vocals. Together they composed a number of hit songs including "Blue Eyed Sally" and "Let Me Be The First To Kiss You Good Morning".   Excerpted – [1] [2]
