The tour includes the oldest secular building in Glasgow, a villa built by an American gun runner, Jimmy Logan's villa, an uber cool modernist villa, fine art nouveau tenements, Greek Thomson villa, a hidden gem of the Glasgow style. Various Churches, Mosques, the new Gurdwara, and Tramway's rich though tragic history.</p><p>The suburb contains parks, green spaces, villas, tenements and church by some of Glasgow's well known architects including Alexandrer Greek Thomson, WJ Anderson, JC McKellar, William Hunter McNab, HE Clifford, Burnet Boston and Carruthers.</p><p>The heritage of the Maxwell family is evident in gifted space for parks, bowling greens and allotments, with their varied landscapes and wildlife. The architectural styles and building materials used demonstrate the eclecticism and evolution of Victorian/Edwardian middle class taste. Within these buildings are superb interiors by talented craftsmen of sumptuous stained glass, ornamental plasterwork, cast iron and marble, wally tiles and elegant wood carvings to frame the equally interesting lives of the people who commissioned and lived in them, whose stories will be noted. You will hear about issues relating to new developments and technologies too. With its gridded streets lined with handsome tenements, terraces, shops and public buildings, East Pollokshields was developed as an upmarket tenement suburb.</p><p>Maxwell Park station, 101 Fotheringay Road, G41 4EF</p><p>�</p></div></div></div></div>
