Hutchesons' Hall

 Located in the Merchant city area,158 Ingram Street, Hutchesons' Hall was commissioned in 1802 and designed by architect David Hamiltion .
The original building was sited in Trongate. In 1802 a replacement was commissioned to be built at a new site. Classically styled, the building was built at the north end of Hutcheson Street and features two statues carved by sculptor James Colquhoun in 1649 of the Glasgow lawyers Thomas and George Hutcheson on its south elevation. The Hutcheson brothers had bequeathed monies left in trust to build a school for poor boys and an old men's hospice. These statues were originally incorporated in the Trongate building and thus pre-date the Hamilton building by over 150 years.

The building is owned by the National Trust and is an A listed building.(abridged from Glasgow Architecture)
