Leverndale Hospital, 510 Crookston Road, Pollok, Glasgow

Leverndale Hospital, located at 510 Crookston Road in Pollok, Glasgow, was designed by Malcolm Stark and Rowntree between 1890 and 1895, winning a competition for its design, with later additions by D. Barclay in 1903. This large hospital block features a symmetrical layout with linked ranges situated on a hilltop site, highlighted by a tall, asymmetrically-placed square tower that serves as a prominent landmark. The architectural style is Renaissance, utilizing stugged or bull-faced ashlar with contrasting polished dressings and slate roofs.

The building is mainly two to three storeys high, with a tall assembly hall centrally located at the northern end, which is set forward and has buttressed flanks. It includes pyramidal-roofed angle pavilions at the north and a full-height mullioned and transomed bay. The seemingly free-standing ranges on either side are connected by lower ranges and corridors. The western ranges, named Leven and Shiel, and the eastern ranges, named Cuillins and Nevis, are identical, each featuring three tall storeys and long northern fronts with two advanced gabled bays that have mullioned and transomed windows. Prominent roof ventilators are located over the roof junctions, and the remaining top floor windows break through the eaves, topped with pedimented dormer heads.

The outer ranges, named Etive, Grampian, and Morven, are set at right angles at the eastern and western ends and are broadly treated in a similar manner. Smaller ranges, named Affric and Thurso, are positioned in the angles between the northern and outer ranges, also facing north and featuring central wall-head gables with paired tall wall-head stacks. The southern range, which houses the administration, has a two-storey and attic centre with semi-octagonal outer bays that rise above the wallhead, topped with finialed bell-cast roofs. It also includes a blocked in-antis doorpiece and pedimented dormer heads at the top floor, with flanking wings that are a storey lower.
