Basic Site Details Name: | Carlton Picture House | Town, district or village: | Townhead | City or county: | Glasgow | Country: | Scotland | Parish: | | Status: | | Grid ref: | | Notes: | There is a conflict of information as to whether this was designed by Duff & Cairns or Albert Victor Gardner. Perhaps Gardner chosen intially but Duff & Cairns' design subsequently built? Alternative - Albert Victor Gardner responsible for the design of the super-cinema which was never built?
The architect is not named in the Builder reports of March and April 1925.
This should not be confused with the proposed super-cinema, also in Castle Street, which received Dean of Guild Court approval at the same time but was not progressed. (see separate item)
