bullet General Notes:

______________________________________________________
In 1901 the occupation of Samuel John Moreland was listed as a Steward at the city Poorhouse. His address of 290 Parliamentary Rd. indicated that he very likely was employed at the City Poorhouse just down the road from his residence. The following is an extract from a website describing this particular poorhouse. jca

Glasgow City, Lanarkshire
After the 1845 Poor Law Amendment (Scotland) Act, poor law provision in Glasgow was divided between four parishes: City, Barony <../Barony/>, Govan <../Govan/> and Gorbals. Gorbals never set up a poorhouse and was absorbed by Govan in 1873.

City Poorhouse
The Glasgow City Poorhouse stood on the north side of Parliamentary Road, to the west of its junction with St James Road. With 1,500 beds, it was one of the largest institutions in Britain.
The poor conditions in the City Poorhouse were a recurring subject of concern with both the City Council and the Parochial Board. In 1882, separate reports by the Board's Secretary and Medical Officer condemned the building. In 1887, after press reports of overcrowding, Dr Littlejohn and the Council's Medical Officer Dr Russell were appointed to conduct an enquiry. Their report highlighted a long list of deficiencies including:
Inadequate separation of sick and able-bodied.
Very poor sanitary arrangements such as badly sited and separated water closets.
The use of water closets as sculleries and pantries.
Poor bathing facilities — in one instance, 290 male inmates took their weekly bath in two baths, a process which took from 7am to 7pm.
Inadequate open-air exercise facilities.
Badly lit and ventilated day rooms.
Many of the buildings problems were aggravated by its location on a very busy main road near to the North British Goods Station.
The City Poorhouse closed in 1905 following a merger with Barony parish.
