The remaining facade of the former Whiteinch Public Baths in the west of Glasgow. Designed by the Office of Public Works in an Edwardian Baroque style, it opened in 1926. The Whiteinch Public Baths housed two swimming pools, separate men's and women's baths, and a Turkish bath. It closed in the 1990s, and much of it was demolished in 2008 to make way for flats. However, this central pavilion was retained.
