The Duke Street Hospital was a health facility on Duke Street in Glasgow, Scotland.

History

Duke Street was originally a Poor Law hospital, commissioned by the Glasgow Parish Council. The facility, which was designed by Alfred Hessell Tiltman in the French Renaissance style, [1] was opened as the Eastern District Hospital in September 1904, on the same day as the Western District Hospital at Oakbank in Maryhill and Stobhill Hospital in Springburn. [2] [3] A new maternity unit was completed in the 1940s and it joined the National Health Service in 1948. [2] Physiotherapy and premature baby units were added in the 1960s. [3]

When maternity services transferred to Rutherglen Maternity Hospital in 1977, the hospital became a geriatric facility. [2] After services had transferred to Parkhead Hospital, [4] it closed in 1992. [2] The main building, which is Category B listed, was converted to residential use in the 2000s, having lain empty for some years. [5]
