Pollokshaws Burgh Hall. Here are three views, with different interesting backgrounds, of this impressive building. It was
commissioned by Sir John Stirling Maxwell at a cost of £20.000, and was completed and gifted to the burgh for the use of local
individuals and organisations in 1898. The architect was Dr. (later Sir) Rowand Anderson. There are two halls, the larger of which can
accommodate up to 1000 and the smaller around 200, and there are a number of anterooms.

c1910. In the left foreground behind the fence, where Christian Street will be laid out later, Craigie’s Park seems to be under
cultivation. In the distance on the right, the three-storey tenement is in King Street at Cogan Street. The lower, light coloured
building in front of the tenement will be the Royal George, which stood opposite Pollokshaws West United Free Church, the low
pinnacles on the street frontage of which are just visible. The burgh hall was closed by Glasgow City Council in the 1990s, but has
reopened and is currently in the care of the Burgh Hall Trust .
