Basic Site Details | Name: | The White House | | Town, district or village: | Springburn | | City or county: | Glasgow | | Country: | Scotland | | Parish: | | | Status: | | | Grid ref: | | | Notes: | The idea of the management is not so much to cater for the single-night lodgers as to provide for the permanent or weekly boarders. For thirteen shillings and six pence per week a working man has his breakfast, dinner, tea and supper nicely served in a dining room large, airy, and well-lit.. Reading, recreation and billiards rooms are provided and the cubicles are comfortable and decently furnished. The buildings reflect credit on the architect, Mr Whitey (sic) of Glasgow. The walls are constructed of brick, rough cast cement on face, with red tinted cement as dressings. The floors are fireproof and the buildings are lighted throughout by electric light, Steam is employed in the cooking arrangements and the laundry work and cleaning is accomplished by the most improved machinery.
