This Category A listed building dating from 1806 is in the centre of King's Park. In the early 1980s there were plans to turn the building into a museum to house Glasgow Museums' fine collection of costumes, but the discovery of extensive dry rot in the building meant it would be too expensive. Glasgow City Council instead sold the building to developers, who converted the house into flats in 1986.
