Title

City Church Sold. Picture House To Be Built on Site.

Description

Short article describing the sale, for £5150, of the Springbank U.F. Church on Maryhill Road, Glasgow, to an unnamed cinema theatre company who planned to build a cinema on the site. The journalist intimates that the Burnbank U.F. Church congregation insisted a condition of sale be the razing of the church building to the ground before any construction takes place, presumably to honour the sacred nature of the building.
