Pollokshields Burgh Hall, Category A listed municipal building in Glasgow, Scotland

The Pollokshields Burgh Hall stands at Maxwell Park's edge, featuring dark red sandstone from Ballochmyle Estate and Scottish Baronial architectural elements.

Sir John Stirling Maxwell commissioned the building in 1890 as a community gift, and it served as the Pollokshields Burgh Council headquarters before Glasgow absorbed the area.

The hall functions as a central venue for community gatherings, hosting art exhibitions, music performances, dance classes, and various cultural activities throughout the year.

The building contains two lodge apartments for overnight stays, accommodating four guests each, while offering spaces for weddings and community events with advance booking.

The structure incorporates an asymmetrical main frontage with a gabled porch and round-headed doorway, designed by architect Henry Edward Clifford.
