Over the years, Hutcheson’s Hall has operated as a hospital, school, public library, bank, and filming location.
In the heart of the Merchant City sits a towering ivory-white building, held up by imposing columns and a 150ft clock tower with a striking blue face.
Hutcheson’s Hall was built between 1802 and 1805 and served as a hospital, to replace the original which was demolished in 1795. It was made possible by brothers George and Thomas Hutcheson. George was a well-known public writer and notary in the city, and he had a reputation as an honest man who would never take more than sixteen pennies for writing an ordinary bond.He and his brother left money in their wills for the construction of a place which could house the poor, older men of Glasgow, as well as a school for boys.
While the school still operates today, it is now the fee-paying Hutcheson’s Grammar School in the Southside.
