Hutchesontown

Hutchesontown

Hutchesontown is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated south of the River Clyde. It forms part of the Gorbals.

In McNeill Street, Hutchesontown has one of Glasgow's original Carnegie libraries, deftly designed by the Inverness born architect James Robert Rhind.

Sir Basil Spence's controversial Hutchesontown C development dominated the area until its demolition in 1993.
