Alexandra Park bandstand

During the 1939/1945 war I spent many a happy afternoon or evening as a young boy being entertained by a band or a concert party for free.
Sadly on a visit to Glasgow a few years ago I was very sad to see the bandstand was no longer there.
To make matters worse I found that the original street where I had lived for 15 years was replaced by new houses but the street name Crinan Street had not altered.
Why was a good red sandstone building torn down?
I presume it was so that people could have a bathroom which I agree with but I am sure there were other places which required more urgent modernisation.
