The Bank
The former Savings Bank of Glasgow building (also former Muirend Savings Bank) at the corner of Clarkston Road and Gartly Street. The Category B Listed building became Muirend's first pub as recently as 2006. See also Image & Image Historic Scotland describes it as follows... Bank, built 1925-27 to designs of A N Paterson and Stoddart. Renaissance; tall single storey with steep slate roof and occupying corner site. Polished ashlar, contrasting granite detail and plinth. Symmetrical tripartite front to Clarkston Road, iron-balconied centre 3-light window in Doric 'in antis' frame, parapet over with sculpted vase finials; arched recesses in outer bays with prominent key-stones (door to right, sculptured crest over); flank elevation to Gartly Street is a simplified version of the same composition. INTERIOR: large banking hall, coffered ceiling with elliptical centre cupola, original full-width counter and partition along north (rear) wall. "The Savings bank of Glasgow" sign placed on gable of tenement adjoining (437 Clarkston Road) is presumably also the work of Paterson and Stoddart.

Former Toledo Cinema
A Category B Listed building on Clarkston Road. The auditorium was demolished when the building was converted to flats in 2001. Historic Scotland describes the building as follows... William Inglis as the Toledo Cinema, 1933; converted to flats 2001. Spanish/American composition; big symmetrical tripartite street front, ornately-detailed throughout with large transomed tripartite window with decorative glazing to projecting centre gable flanked by tiny cantilevered and consoled balconettes in re-entrant angles. Base red ashlar, remainder rendered. Decorative frieze over original 2nd floor windows. The Toledo Cinema was built to seat 1,598. It was a rare example of 'atmospheric' cinema design, where an escapist fantasy style was created, in this case a Spanish/American theme. The auditorium was divided in 1982 to accommodate three screens with Cinema 2 using the old front stalls and original proscenium opening. When it closed on 21 October 2001, this was the last ABC Cinema in Glasgow. The architect, William Beresford Inglis, designed other cinemas as well as the former Beresford Hotel (now converted to flats). When converted to flats, the façade was retained and windows were added to the 2nd floor and the prominent centre gablehead was reinstated from flat to curvilinear. The Cinema Theatre Association note that the entrance foyer to the flats features reproductions of some decorative features from the auditorium, and some tiles and light-fittings.
