This wasn’t the first UP Mission Hall in the area, however: there was an earlier one in Pollokshaws Road: ‘New United Presbyterian Church near Crosshill. – A Preliminary Public Meeting of those Favourable to this object will be held on Thursday First, the 27th instant, at Eight p.m. in the Strathbungo U.P. Mission Hall, Pollokshaws Road’: Glasgow Herald, 26 Jun 1872. Do we know what happened to that?

It really does look amazing, any idea what the Mission Hall is going to be once it’s restored?

More on the history of Nithsdale Hall on the Bygone Bungo website, incuding the full set of original architectural plans. Good to see it slowly coming back to life.

I have passed this building on the way home for the last 2 years and have been blown away by the progression in the restoration of the building.
Fantastic

I mentioned this before on “Shields is Gallus”….In the 1950s perhaps earlier there was a Youth Group called “The Black Panthers” who met here. Nothing to do with any other group by that name just youths who met in this wee hall. I have never met anyone else who remembers this info. but I have remembered it since the 1950s although I was never a member. This might not be particularly noteworthy but its still a wee bit of the history of the building for anyone interested.
