Scope and Content Queen Street Station, Dundas Street Entrance, Glasgow This station was opened in 1842 by the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, with a large train shed. A former church and some other existing buildings were incorporated. In 1855-6 a new carriage entrance was built in Dundas Street. The train shed was replaced in 1880, and the 1855-6 buildings were demolished in 1968. This shows the southern end of the Dundas Street frontage, with one of the carriage entrances and a pedestrian arch. The building on the right was built as the West George Street Independent Chapel, and was adapted as railway offices in 1842. The building had a central area for carriages, used by taxis until the 1950s, with side and rear pavements for pedestrians. It was demolished in 1968, and replaced by the present entrance and booking offices. The church has also since been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
