Summary | Geilston Hall | ||||
Description | www.mackintosh-architecture.gla.ac.uk/catalogue/browse/display/?rs=13&xml=des gives 'A wooden drill hall for the Cardross Volunteers was built on this site in 1863–4 by Major Joseph Tucker Geils (1808–1871) of nearby Geilston House. On 7 March 1889 the hall burned down, and John Honeyman & Keppie were promptly employed to replace it with a stone building, paid for by Major Geils's widow, Mrs Tucker Geils. John Honeyman was involved in the Volunteer movement as a founder member of the 1st Dunbartonshire (Helensburgh) Artillery, and the commission may have come via this connection.' Now in community use. In 1914 used by 9th Battalion, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (A Company) as a drill station. | ||||
