Lomond Street, Helensburgh
Not far ahead is one end of a footbridge over the railway line; Lomond Street continues on the far side of that bridge. The large building near the centre of the picture was employed as a drill hall during the First World War, and is currently a TA centre. There was no building on that site when the first-edition OS map was surveyed in 1860. A long narrow building, captioned "drill hall", is marked on the second-edition map (revised c.1897). On the 1914 revision of the map, the building is much larger: it had been expanded to the south-west, and was almost square; this corresponds to its present-day appearance. Another contributor's article lists the various buildings that were used as drill halls during the First World War: http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/WW1-Great-War-Centenary---Drill-Halls

Park Church
The building, which stands on the corner of Charlotte Street and East King Street, is by John Honeyman; the foundation stone was laid in 1862, and the church opened in 1863. The interior was remodelled (1887-88) by William Leiper, the changes including a new staircase. At one stage of its history, it was known as Park United Free Church. In Helensburgh Cemetery – http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/8777 – there is a memorial to its minister Henry Norwell M.A. (1861-1904), who was born at Perth; the memorial was, according to its inscription, "erected by the congregation of Park United Free Church".
