John Thomas Alston

John Thomas Alston of Moore Park (1780–1857) was a 19th-century Scottish merchant who served as Lord Provost of Glasgow from 1820 to 1822.

[3] John Thomas moved to separate lodgings at Clyde Street in 1818.

He then bought Moore Park, a simple Georgian villa by David Hamilton in the Broomloan district of Glasgow.

The house was photographed in 1870 by Thomas Annan just prior to its demolition for railway improvements in the city.

[5] He died on 19 July 1857 in Richmond, Surrey, and is buried at St Peter's Church, Petersham.
