08_Belmont Parish Church
Glasgow architect James Miller launched his prolific career by winning the competition for Belmont Parish Church in 1892. Miller, then working in the Engineering Department of the Caledonian Railway Company, based his design on John J Burnet's Barony Church, with delicate traceried windows in red sandstone. In 1952, the building was purchased by the Laurel Bank School for Girls in Lilybank Terrace, and the congregation merged with Hillhead Parish Church on Observatory Road. For nearly fifty years the old church served as the school's assembly, games and dining hall.
The church is now (2020) being converted to housing.
