Pool Block, Primary School, 35 Church Street, Partick
Pool Block, Primary School, 35 Church Street, Partick, Category C listed derelict swimming pool in Partick, Scotland
The three-story Italianate structure features a swimming pool block with red sandstone walls, broad eaves, and continuous raised rooflights along Church Street.
Architects Donald Bruce and E.A.B. Hay designed this educational facility in 1904 for the Govan Parish School Board to accommodate 1,308 students.
The swimming pool served generations of local students until 1997, reflecting the early 20th-century emphasis on physical education in Scottish schools.
The building stands empty since 1997, with recent plans proposing to transform the former swimming pool into a medical practice facility.
The interior contains a central double-height galleried hall decorated with hammerbeams, baluster details, and gothic fretwork ornamentation.
