Police Station and Central Court

 On the corner of  Turnbull Street and St Andrews Street is the ruin of the an old Police Station and Court Room  complete with with cells.

The building is in the French Renaissance style ,red brick being used through out the building.

The architect was Alexander Beith McDonald ,he incorporated some nice statues and carvings and a frieze of the Glasgow Coat of Arms into the front of the building.

The building was used as a police museum for a short time, sadly when it was vacated it became a target for vandals and soon found itself on the Buildings at Risk Register.

The building has been sold to developers in the hope that it will be turned into apartment's.
