Maryhill Public Baths And Wash House, 69 Burnhouse Street, Glasgow

Maryhill Public Baths and Wash House, located at 69 Burnhouse Street in Glasgow, was designed by A B McDonald, the City Surveyor, and built between 1896 and 1898. It was converted into a leisure centre in 2006 by the Glasgow City Council Architects Department, led by Eimear Kelt. The building originally features a roughly square plan in a Baroque style, consisting of one and two stories, and is constructed from polished red ashlar sandstone, with the side elevations now rendered. It is situated on a steeply sloping corner site, with its main elevations facing west and south. Notable architectural elements include a cill course, eaves course, and a deep parapet with curvilinear details on the south side. There are pilasters between each bay and distinctive finialled gables with keyed oculi at the eaves.

On the Burnhouse Street elevation, the building is a single-storey structure with ten bays, featuring gables over the central bays and the bay to the right. The openings are roll moulded and keystoned, with a central segmental arched window above which is a gable displaying the Glasgow coat of arms. This window is flanked by square-headed doorways that have two-leaf timber doors and fanlights, with inscriptions above reading "WASHHOUSE" to the left and "PUBLIC BATHS" to the right. There is a wider segmental arched doorway at the far left and a large round-arched window with a Gibbs surround at the far right, which corresponds to a former committee room that later became the manager's office.

The Gairbraid Street elevation is two stories high with ten bays, featuring blind openings on the ground floor. There is a large round-arched window in the left bay, with Ionic colonettes dividing the windows on the first floor. The building has small-pane timber windows and a slate roof, which includes glazed roof lights over the pool area on the south side.

Inside, as seen in 2013, the pool area has been floored over, and the committee room has been incorporated into the main space. The walls are tiled above the original floor level.
