Savings Bank in New City Road
The Glasgow Savings Bank was founded in 1836 and operated from Hutcheson’s Hospital in Ingram Street. It was intended to encourage the poor to save and established a network of agencies across the city that were staffed by volunteers.
The New City Road branch was designed by Neil Campbell Duff in 1901 and built using red sandstone. It was designed as a tenement with the bank on the ground floor.
