Town's Hospital

[1] It occupied a site at the Old Green on Great Clyde Street, at the junction of present-day Ropework Lane.

The hospital was managed by the Lord Provost and 48 directors, 12 of whom were elected by the town council.

A year after its opening the Town's Hospital accommodated 61 old people and 90 children.

[2] The hospital closed in 1844, although it was reopened briefly in 1848 to house the victims of a cholera outbreak.

It was demolished and a warehouse built on the site;[3] its function as a home for the destitute poor of the parish was taken over by the Glasgow City Poorhouse, sometimes also known as the Town's Hospital.
