Old photograph of people outside Clason Kirk in Carmunnock within the boundary of Glasgow, Scotland. Originally the Clason Memorial Mission Hall, the kirk was built in 1865 after the breakaway from the established Church in 1843. It was named for the Reverend Patrick Clason, a former minister of Carmunnock Parish Church, who became a supporter of the breakaway Free Church of Scotland. In 1924, after the building had ceased to function as a church, it became the Clason Hall, providing for Carmunnock Parish Church organisations and events. In 2004, the Reid Hall, a further extension, designed to be in keeping with village architecture, was added to the west side of Clason Hall.
