The Tenement

Visited this historic place and found it quite fascinating. They have kept in tack living conditions over 60 years ago going back to the late 19th century. Very well done with lots of information about this period and how people lived and managed their daily activities. The attendants were well informed and very helpful as we had many questions. History buffs will find this place interesting and should not pass it up.

Turned up just after 2 pm. The parking is on the street and cost me £2.00 for 1.5 hours. I got to the door and was greeted by one of the staff, who was very friendly and helpful. There are two flights. On the bottom floor is the information section and on the second floor is the house. I was taken aback by how remarkable it was. Taking a step back in time is an understatement. It was so surreal and mind blown. The ladies who presented it well with their knowledge and passion for what they do. I recommend you check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Here affords you a great chance to immerse in a Victorian middle-class family’s apartment vividly. The history in Glasgow becomes touchable. The voluntary docent was very friendly and helpful when we visited on a sunny afternoon. However, It's a very pocket-sized attraction, and if you're not a history buff, you might think it's not worth paying for it.

Wonderful example of Glasgow life through the 20th century. This is an precious relic of Scottish history and Glaswegians are so lucky to have it preserved for future generation. I much appreciated the passion of its curators/guides.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

There is limited street parking but we parked at the Q carpark and it was a 10 minute walk. The tenement house was a real suprise. The ground floor has the reception and the girl on the desk was very cheerful. The toilets are at the reception and across the hall way at the self service cafe. The first floor is where Miss Toward flat is. Before you go in you get to ring the bell and the staff great you. The first thing you will notice is how dark it is as they still use gas lights. The rooms haven't been touched and it is like stepping back in time. When you come out it can take minute or two to adjust your eyes to the light. The room across has letter that she wrote and it gives you a small glimpse of her life. The staff are very friendly and will answer any questions you have about Miss Toward and her property.

Glasgow gets a lot of bad press, not least because they bulldozed a motorway right through the city. This place is a time capsule of what the city lost. Whilst most tenements that survived were modernised, this one survived untouched. When you think of National Trust [for Scotland] houses you probably think of stately homes and castles. I actually think I prefer this. The volunteers that staff the place were very knowledgeable and could talk at length about any item. To get the most out of your visit ask them questions. You'll learn lots.

Great way to spend an afternoon. A step back in time with lots of information about Miss Toward who lived in the tenement flat. Definitely worth a visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

I loved this place and the staff and volunteer Robert was very friendly and helpful. It's not big but it's full of interesting things and lots of charm and the rooms have gas lighting which is a nice touch.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

Amazing place of social history, of working class people. Brilliantly exhibited through the story of Agnes, who lives in the house for many years. Loved it.

Beautiful view into early 20th century life, kind guides, tons of information and so many objects from days gone past.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
