1902-6, Robert Rowand Anderson This was donated by Lady Dinah Pearce in memory of her husband Sir William Pearce. Built in seventeenth-century Scottish Renaissance style, it provides social facilities (including the Macleod Hall) for local people. The two gables on the front are quite different in character; the western one is very Renaissance with lots of ornamentation (including a sailing ship at roof level), the eastern one is in the restrained Scots Baronial style. On the wall inside the entrance are the words This is a house of friendship. This is a house of service. For families. For lonely folk. For the people of Govan. For the strangers of the world. Welcome. This article is based on the guidebook "The Glasgow Guide". |

This handsome gable is topped by a sailing ship, emphasising the importance of shipbuilding and shipping to the Govan economy. |
