Former Queen's College

University of Glasgow Faculty of Education, on Park Drive at Park Road in the north of Kelvingrove Park.

Queen's college merged with Glasgow Polytechnic to form Glasgow Caledonian University. They sold the building to the University of Glasgow about 2000 when they moved to Cowcaddens. The original building in the photo opened in 1909.

The following extract is from the Glasgow University Archives web site Link

Prior to being called The Queen’s College, Glasgow the Park Drive College was know as The Glasgow and West of Scotland College of Domestic Science (Incorporated). This Scottish central institution was the result of a merger in 1908 between The Glasgow School of Cookery and The West End School of Cookery, these schools dating back to 1875 and 1878 respectively. The Queen had been Patron of the College since 1944 and in the year of its centenary celebrations, 1975, she gave her name to the College.
