  Sir John Maxwell Primary​

Location: Bengal Street / Christian Street, Pollokshaws, Glasgow.

Attributed to architect John H. Hamilton (1851-1935) this large three storey school was built from 1906-07. A large red sandstone building with classical stylings the school replaced its predecessor (built 1854) on a site donated by the local landowner  – Sir John Stirling Maxwell. The building is sited beside the Scots baronial styled Burgh Hall of Pollokshaws, a blond sandstone building of a similar era, but of  contrasting styling, colour and design. The school building was officially opened by the land benefactor Maxwell in 1909 and continued in this role as an educational establishment until its eventual closure in June 2011.
