Old Photograph Camphill House Glasgow Scotland
Old photograph of Camphill House, Queen's Park, Glasgow, Scotland. Camphill House was was built between 1800 and 1818 for Robert Thomson, born 1771, died 1831. Thomson was a partner with his father, also named Robert, born 1742, died 1820, in Robert Thomson & Sons, whose Adelphi Cotton Works in Hutchesontown was said to have been the first in Glasgow to manufacture cotton goods. The house is very similar architectural design to Aikenhead House, which was designed by David Hamilton, born 1768, died 1843, and built in 1806. In 1894 the house and its grounds were added to Glasgow Corporation's Queen's Park. The building was converted into a museum in 1895 and contained displays of costume and relics relating to the Battle of Langside, which was fought nearby in 1568. The museum closed in the 1980.
