One of the best kept 'secrets' in Glasgow. Fantastic look into Glasgow's past and how we used to live.
A fascinating small museum explaining the role of tenements in Glasgow, while the interior of the flat upstairs is locked and preserved as it was found, in the condition it was in for many years under the last occupant.Very well worth a visit and an eye-opener to a surprisingly nice tenement flat with plenty of room.Somewhere along the way, I thought back-to-backs and New York tenements but no. Visit and have your perceptions altered.All the staff we met were really helpful. We really enjoyed this visit. Thank you to everyone there who helped on our first visit as members of The National Trust for Scotland.
Quite different from the normal National Trust house, this middle class tenement apartment is much as it was in the early 1900s and completely untouched since 1965. It gives a good idea what the best of the tenements were like - go to the People's Palace at Glasgow Green to see what a single-end apartment for the working class was like. Well worth a visit- give yourself an hour for a thorough look at everything.
Brought back wonderful memories of my Gran and Papa's tenement in Greenock. Took me back 50 years along with memories of my brother and I sharing a box bed, reading stories and jokes. My English husband was amazed at how spacious it is inside. It is an absolute crime to discover that short sighted, deep pocketed developers are still tearing these iconic and beautiful buildings down simply for a quick profit.
I went here because it was free with my National Trust membership. I found the history of the home and the types of these buildings fascinating and the fact the home is so well-preserved is a good window into the past. In particular I appreciated the gas lighting as you can really feel the heat from the bulbs! The ground floor has an overview of the building and flat history as well as the woman whose flat this belonged to. The flat itself is very cozy. Took about 20 minutes-half inside with volunteers about, ready to explain further.
