Clock Tower, Stobhill Hospital, Springburn
The hospital was designed by the architects Thomson & Sandilands and opened in 1904. Stobhill was built by the Parish of Glasgow to meet the increasing need for hospital accommodation for the city's sick poor. For many years it carried the stigma of being a hospital for paupers, and the birth certificates of babies born there only recorded the address and not the name of the hospital.

Stobhill Hospital
As described in "Stobhill Hospital – The First Seventy Years" (O.M.Watt, 1971), 47 acres from Stobhill Estate had, by the end of 1899, been purchased for £6000 as a site for the new hospital. A competition was held in order to select the architects; though Thomson and Sandilands did not win, their design was used.
The contractors gave the estimate of £163,341 for the building work, which proceeded rapidly; the foundation stone (at the base of the clock tower) was laid in September of 1901, and the work was completed by 1903, although there were to be later additions to the site. The official opening was in 1904. For far more complete details, see the work just cited.
