About Alexander's School

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

Alexander's School, at 94 Duke Street, Glasgow, was designed by John Burnet and built in 1858 at a cost of £6000 for James Alexander, the proprietor of the cotton mill next door - itself an innovative 1849 fire-proof construction - to educate local children. It was known as "Alexander's Endowed School".

It is built in an impressive Italianate style, with the heads of Homer, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Michelangelo and Milton carved high on the front wall by John Crawford. The site is adjacent to where the University of Glasgow stood in the 19th century, and was opposite Duke Street Women's Prison.
