    Langside Av. 

Langside Hill Church (A.Skirving, 1896).

 The fashion for classical architecture which gave Glasgow so many ‘Greek temple’ churches had run its course, the wind of modernism was blowing in from the continent, and Langside Hill was the last of its kind.  The pediment had been intended to carry some mezzo-rilievo sculpture (it is said that a scene of John Knox admonishing Queen Mary was planned!) but the money ran out and it was left unfinished. The church is now a restaurant.  

June 1975
    Langside Av., Langside Hill Ch   6/75
    Aikenhead House (1806, later additions), King’s Park. 

I think it was a costume museum, or maybe storage for a costume collection, at that time. Apartments now.

December 1975
