Old Photograph Wellington Church Glasgow Scotland
Old photograph of Wellington Church in Glasgow, Scotland. This building is located on University Avenue, Glasgow, opposite the University of Glasgow. The building was designed by the architect Thomas Lennox Watson and built between 1883 and 1884 for the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland, which joined with the Free Church of Scotland to become the United Free Church of Scotland in 1900. The exterior of church is notable for its magnificent neoclassical portico, complete with a colonnade of Corinthian columns in the style of an ancient Greek temple. This neoclassical architecture was much favoured by United Presbyterian Church, in contrast to the Gothic Revival favoured by most other churches in the Victorian era. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
