230 Auldhouse Road, Glasgow

The building is a purpose built drill hall, built around 1920 with some partial demolitions to the rear and later 20th century alterations to the west gable. The building is a largely symmetrical 2-storey, 5-bay rendered brick building in an Arts and Crafts style. The principal (south) elevation has a central 3-storey advanced entrance bay with a crowstepped pediment. This entrance bay is flanked by a single bays with red sandstone Dutch gable style dormers and rounded corner bays with conical lead roofs. The first floor overhangs slightly with a dentilled detail forming a string course. The side elevations are gabled with irregular window patterns and the rear elevation has first floor windows. There is a later 20th century stair tower addition on the west gable elevation.

The windows are multi-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case frames and there are timber entrance doors. The slate roofs have overhanging eaves and cast iron rainwater goods and the conical roofs are made of lead with thistle finials.

There is a pair of rendered brick circular gatepiers with conical stone cappings. The railings are plain and later 20th century.

The interior of the building was seen in 2015, and the internal room plan layout appears largely unaltered with a hall space to the rear of the upper floor. A ground floor room has a panelled timber fireplace. The original stair was removed in the 1980s and replaced by a later external stair tower to the west elevation, and there is also a plain timber stair to the attic floor.
