Former Hospital Administration and Residential Buildings, Mearnskirk Road, 1913, J A T Houston
Little remains of the large Mearnskirk Hospital complex designed before but built after the First World War. Late 17th-century English Renaissance style. Built of red brick with white stone dressings and some Art Deco entrances. The Administration Buildings have been converted to flats and all are now incorporated into a large residential complex set within mature parkland.
