Caledonia Road Church

 

Caledonia Road Church

Caledonia Road church was completed in 1857. Alexander Thomson was the main architect.

 In 1963 the church use of Caledonian Road Church ended and the city of Glasgow took over the building. In October 1965, the church burned down and was subsequently partially demolished. Although some work has been done to the structure of the building, the risk to the ruin is considered high. Unfortunately, all plans to restore and to find it an alternative use, have all faded away. Sadly, the building sits forlornly on its own, crumbling away.
