Broad Street, Glasgow
Office block with space to let on Broad Street. The old church to the left of picture was built in 1878, probably to the design of architect James K Dempster (died 1881). St Clement's Church of Scotland building was incorporated into the David Dale College in 1952-4 and served as the College gymnasium for many years, which probably saved it from demolition. The building is not listed. Information from Bridgeton Heritage Trail, see http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=6210
