Glasgow, Balornock Road, Stobhill Hospital, Former Mortuary

The former mortuary building at Stobhill Hospital, designed by Thomson and Sandilands between 1900 and 1904, is a symmetrical, single-storey structure with a square plan and three bays, which slopes down to a single storey and basement at the rear. It is located on a steep site at the far eastern edge of the former hospital. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings. The entrance facade features a central, moulded doorpiece topped with a round-arched pediment. On either side, there are canted four-light windows with square-headed parapets and tall, central finials. The upper storey has transomed and mullioned windows at the rear, which are distinguished by breaking-eaves bell-cast pediments. The windows are mainly timber sash and case, with some metal casement windows. The jerkin-headed roof is covered with grey slates and red ridge tiles, featuring raised skews.

The interior, as observed in 2014, consists of a series of separate rooms and includes a narrow staircase leading to the basement. The hallway contains a pair of round-arched openings, and one of the basement rooms is lined with timber boarding.
