Glasgow Industrial Schools new building
The foundation stone of a new building in connexion with the Glasgow Industrial Schools now being erected at Mossbank, near Hogganfield, about three miles from the city, has been laid with Masonic ceremonial. The Industrial Schools originated in the Ragged Schools, established some 21 years ago. At present there are fully 500 children in the institution. Additional accommodation being required, the directors purchased the farm of Mossbank, consisting of 13 acres, at a cost of £900. The building is to be of red, white and black brick, 240 feet in length and three stories in height, with a spire, and will contain about 1,000 children. The foundation stone was laid by the Earl of Dalhousie, Grand Master Mason of Scotland.
