Former drill hall, Overton Road
The picture shows the junction of Middleton Street (running from left to right) and Overton Road (entering at the lower left corner of the picture). The building at the corner opposite the photographer's position is labelled a "drill hall" on the 1:2500 OS map revision of c.1914. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/332996/alexandria-1-5-overton-street-drill-hall (at Canmore) for further details of its use then, and its subsequent conversion. Canmore describes the building as having a two-storey front with a single-storey section behind; those features are evident in the picture.
