More extensive detail is available from the Listing http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB44656. The building shown in this photo is the 'second pavilion' referred to below. "The history of the Titwood recreational site began on 5 May 1889, when a number of Pollokshields residents met in the house of Mr James Mair Davies in Glencairn Drive to discuss the founding of a new club. The unanimous agreement of those present was that a Bowling and Tennis Club be formed and that sufficient ground be leased in Glencairn Drive from Sir John Stirling-Maxwell for two bowling greens and several tennis courts. The grounds and first pavilion at Titwood were completed by the summer of 1890 and was for both tennis and bowling members. By 1913 a second pavilion, designed by Walker & Ramsay, was constructed and was described at the time as 'tennis pavilion for gentlemen members of Titwood Bowling Club'."
