Tollcross Park Glasshouse
Tollcross Glasshouse is a "B" listed building which was recently restored at a cost of £1million pounds, but it has been underused with the council not having a plan to use it for something specific.
It is hoped that the building of toilets and a kitchen if built will attract a caffe, meanwhile the unguarded building has been targeted by vandals with over twenty windows smashed.

Battlefield Rest is a B-listed building that was built in 1915 as a tram station and newsagent, the architect was Frank Burnet
After a demolition order in the early 1990s was stopped by public petition, businessman Marco Giannasi restored it, opening it as a successful Italian bistro in 1994.
