That is the building's current purpose. However, it was originally the Girls' Industrial School. It dates from 1855. Initially, to be sent here was more or less the result of misdemeanours but that function later moved to a larger building on Blackness Road. Later it was simply a hostel that gave accommodation to the women who dominated the jute industry's workforce. Owned from 1900 by the Salvation Army.
