Ruchill Church Halls

Hi! Do Ruchill Church Halls still exist? According to my ancient copy of Jackie Cooper's Mackintosh Architecture, these were built around 1898 or 1899 (page 32 if you have the 1989 edition). I will be in Glasgow for a few days next week, so checking scottisharchitects.org.uk, multimap.com and the online yellow pages, yes, the church and halls still exists down Shakespeare St. Sending a very polite email to the CRM Society as to whether these are accessable, even to look at from the outside, or not, I get a not-very-nice one back saying no, Queens Cross is the only churchy thing Mackintosh did. Many Thanks for your help. V.G.

Hidden Glasgow sponsored some West End Walks a couple of years back that started from outside here. Here are some photos from that walk

I think the hall is open as a community tea room.
