Rose Street crosses from left to right. The building on the left is the Haldane Building of the Glasgow School of Art. Canmore http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/168523/details/glasgow+24+hill+street/ describes the building as follows... "The drill hall is marked on both 2nd and 3rd epoch OS maps of the area. It was built in 1892 by Horatio Kelson Bromhead as a volunteer hall. It occupies a corner site with plain two-storey elevations in rusticated sandstone, with a low corner tower to a slightly squat third storey. There is a massive square hall with an original central rooflight; the roof is now penetrated by many modern Velux-type windows. Osborne (2006) reports that in 1914 the hall was the HQ of the 5th battalion, Highland Light Infantry, and the base of "A" to "H" Companies. The building is now the Haldane Building of Glasgow School of Art. Information from HS/RCAHMS World War One Audit Project (GJB) 24 October 2013."
