Hutchesons' Hall, Category A listed building in Merchant City, Glasgow, Scotland
Hutchesons' Hall is an early 19th-century structure in Merchant City with a classical stone facade. The design features an octagonal clock tower, Corinthian columns, and fluted pilasters that create a formal, elegant appearance.
George and Thomas Hutcheson founded a hospital and school in 1641 for poor boys and elderly citizens. The building that stands today was built later and named to honor this early charitable purpose.
Two stone statues on the south side depict the Hutcheson brothers and date from the 17th century. They stand as a visual reminder of the founders and their original purpose in serving the community.
The building underwent major renovation in 2014 and now operates as a restaurant focused on steak and seafood. It sits on Ingram Street in the city center and is easily accessible on foot, with three floors to explore.
The exterior walls were transformed from traditional light-colored sandstone to bright white during the 2010 restoration. This visible change marks the building's appearance today and stands as evidence of its modern renovation.
