It was built in 1887, and it served as Renton Public Library before becoming Renton Mosque (or West Dunbartonshire Muslim Education Society). See Image for another contributor's earlier picture. Part of a house can be seen to its right (north); that was the site of Renton Public Hall, later known as the Roxy Cinema; it eventually burned down (in the 1970s, I think).
