Maryhill Burgh Halls
The Burgh Hall building at Gairbraid Avenue was formally opened on Friday 26th April 1878. It came about due to the increasing population growth in the town of Maryhill and the lawlessness this created. The H.M. Inspector of Police for Scotland had insisted that the Maryhill Police Commissioners take steps to provide a more suitable building for police purposes. They allocated a portion of ground at the junction of Gairbraid Avenue and Wyndford Street, (now Maryhill Road) and plans were prepared which included the necessary police accommodation, court room, bathhouse, washhouse, fire station and a public hall to seat 900. Back in the 1960s, Maryhill Burgh Halls fell out of use as a public space, and instead became a storage facility for the police station next door. Decades later, in 2004, work began to regenerate the Halls, culminating in its grand re-opening in 2012.
