Golden sandstone tenements

The fine sandstone block stands where Hyndland Street descending Partickhill is crossed by White Street.

 

The Bartholomew's street maps of Glasgow in the 1860s show a proposal for a series of these palatial blocks, ascending to a south-facing crescent split by a street heading north to join Victoria Crescent Road. Only fragments of the grand plan were realised.

 

This block (about half its intended length) appears on the map of 1876, by which year the street pattern has been modified, the line of Highburgh Road defined.

 

Ziques, the neighbourhood bar restaurant, has adapted for the pandemic.
