The former Savings Bank of Glasgow in Clarkston Road illustrates an inter-war version of the neo-classical which is much simpler than the Victorian interpretation of the same style. It has a glass roof over the banking hall which can be compared to the elaborate glazed dome over the Savings Bank in Ingram Street.

It was completed in 1927 to the designs of architects, Alexander Nisbet Paterson and Donald McKay Stoddart.

The bank was converted into Muirend's first ever bar, which opened in the summer of 2006 with the highly imaginative title of "The Bank"!

It's good that some useful purpose has been found for this unusual little building.
The nearest station is Muirend, the first stop after Cathcart on the Neilston branch line.

  • If you go to The Bank, and you park in the wee lane behind it, don't block the residents' garages.... it's very annoying!
