Crathie Court
One of my favourite "hidden" buildings in Glasgow not far
from Crow Road. The Black and White Photo pinched
from RCAHMS does not really do it justice.
I have got some fairly recent colour pics of it i took.
I'll post them later if i can find them.
The building was designed after the war and was completed
in 1952. Designed by Dr Ronald Bradbury, Director of Housing
for Glasgow Corporation as an experiment in high-rise housing
following a directive from the Scottish Office in 1945.
Crathie Court was originally designed as part of Glasgow
Corporation Housing Committee's programme of hostels for single
women and consists of 88No. flats.
It definitely has Art Deco / inter war leanings albeit was designed
and built post war.
If you are interested in buildings of this type of design it is certainly
worth a visit.
