Founded in 1886, the hospital was originally based in a converted house on South Cumberland Road. In 1890, it moved to Kingston House in Tradeston before moving to this purpose-built hospital on Coplaw Street in 1895. A nurses' home was added in 1904, and further were added in 1927 and 1936. In 1948, it became the nascent NHS, and was finally closed in 1991.

Part of the former Glasgow Samaritan Hospital for Women on the Southside of Glasgow. The buildings were primariy designed by MacWhannel and Rogerson, and were built in the 1890s.

Cuthbertson Primary School in the Govanhill area of Glasgow. A relatively plain, but beautifully proportioned and symmetrical building dating from 1906, it was designed by James Miller.

Love what's been done to this barrel outside the Transylvania Shop on Victoria Road in Glasgow. It's just a great bit of decoration that makes an interesting addition to the typical 'barrel as furniture' genre.
Love the rather striking design of this tiled tenement close in the Govanhill area of Glasgow.

The end close in a curving block of tenements lining Albert Avenue on the Southside of Glasgow. From this angle, you can see the difference between the higher quality smoothed stonework used for the front of the tenememt and the lower quality and rougher stone used for the rear sections.

The Scots Baronial style former police station on Craigie Street in the Govanhill area of Glasgow. Designed by A.B. McDonald and built in 1896, this forms part of the same complex as the the similarly styled former Queen's Park Fire Station featured earlier today.

Love the Scots Baronial detailing in Dixon Halls on the border between Govanhill and Crosshill on the Southside of Glasgow. Built as municipal building in 1879, it was designed by Frank Stirrat.
