Sandstone plaque - The Glasgow School of Art Common Room

Sandstone name plaque for the GSA Common Room, which was part of the building on the opposite side of Renfrew Street aquired ca. 1920 to allow the School to expand.  This building housed the Assembly Hall which was opened in 1929, so other facillities are assumed to date from around the same time. (Plaque was formerly wrongly identified as that for the Assembly Hall).
