26_Kelvinbridge Station
When the Glasgow Central Railway came tunnelling through the West End in the 1890s, they commissioned architect James Miller to design new stations at Kelvinbridge and the Botanic Gardens. Both were destroyed by fire seventy years later, and the little Kelvinbridge Station is now mostly forgotten, overshadowed as it was by Miller’s grandiose Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road. The brick and sandstone Kelvinbridge Stationhouse led to a staircase accessing the glazed platforms at river level.
