Royal Samaritan Hospital For Women, 67-69 Coplaw Street, Glasgow

The Royal Samaritan Hospital for Women, located at 67-69 Coplaw Street in Glasgow, is a building primarily designed by MacWhannel and Rogerson, constructed in stages starting in 1896, with an initial sketch plan prepared in 1893. This hospital consists of a series of five linked two to three-storey ranges featuring gables facing Coplaw Street, with shallow links that are deeply recessed. To the west is the Alice Mary Corbett Nursing Home, built between 1904 and 1905, which showcases baronial architectural details and was extended in 1925, marked by a datestone. The nursing home has a nearly symmetrical long elevation facing Victoria Road, with its centre protruding and flanked by octagonal turrets. The other ranges were built between 1896 and 1924, with some undated sections. The design includes Art Nouveau flourishes and is constructed from rock-faced ashlar with contrasting red ashlar dressings. The roofs are slated, some featuring decorative axial ventilators. There are also later additions, including a section dating from 1931. A two-storey range facing Butterbiggins Road has advanced outer gables connected by a heavily-bracketted balcony with an inscribed front. A tall brick chimney is also present on the site.

The hospital is enclosed by boundary walls made of bull-faced ashlar, with piers linked by decorative wrought-iron railings.
