Hutchesons' Hall

Description

Hutchesons' Hall was designed by David Hamilton in 1802 and forms an elegant vista at the top of Hutcheson Street. The Hall is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland but the original founders, the Hutcheson brothers, still flank the main entrance of their institute for poor craftsmen. Inside, the impressive staircase leads to a sumptuous upper hall which was remodelled by John Baird II in 1876 and displays portraits of notable Glasgow worthies.
