If i'm not mistaken, they've turned this into 'luxury' flats now?

I really hope not. Its a beautiful church situated at the top (unfashionable?) end of St.Georges Road between North Woodside Road and Garscube Road and situated below and beside 60's high rise and the 70's almost high rise red brick tenements of Raglan Street across the road from the church.
Down the road is another fantastic building - Woodside Library, which is almost right next door to the old Metropole Theatre.

The fire station next door was turned into flats, not sure about the church.

Yeah, they've been flats for about ten years now I think. Done before it was really fashionable. Wasn't that the local Library beforehand?

Never the local library to my knowledge DVF. The local library was and still is Woodside Library as already mentioned by Captain Brittles. This is a Carnegie library by the way, i.e. built with money donated by Andrew Carnegie, the Scots born industrialist and philanthropist. There is an interesting wee exhibition about this at the library just now [or at least there was when I was there a couple of weeks ago].
