Glasgow, 34 Elmbank Crescent

Glasgow meeting house has medium heritage significance as a typical example of a remodelled city centre terraced house. The former residential building was built in the 1860s and is typical of early Victorian planned development in Scottish towns and cities, continuing Georgian architectural traditions. The building has been associated with the Quakers since 1992, and was previously occupied by the Royal Artillery Club. Evidential value: The building and site has low evidential significance and limited archaeological potential. Historical value: The building has medium historical value as the only surviving element of a formal Victorian development in Glasgow city centre. It was associated with the Royal Artillery Club from the mid twentieth century and has been a Quaker meeting house for less than 25 years; it has low significance for this connection. Aesthetic value: The building has medium architectural value as a typical example of former terraced housing, built as part of a formal street layout in the Georgian tradition, but now an isolated fragment in the streetscene. The interior has been altered and retains features of several phases. Communal value: The meeting house has high communal value as a place of Quaker worship since 1992 and as a building valued by the wider community.
