Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Scottish English Шаблон:Infobox building The Botanic Gardens Garage is a two-story, five-bay Category A-listed building in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on Vinicombe Street, a one-minute-walk from the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. It is the oldest surviving purpose-built motor garage in Glasgow.[1] The building is no longer used as a garage, and instead houses restaurants and a gym.

History

David V. Wyllie was the architect and it was built between 1906 and 1912.[2][3] In the 1920s the proprietor was Alexander Kennedy.[4]

The building has been owned by Arnold Clark since the 1960s.[5] It became vacant in 2006 and the owners initially planned to demolish it.[6] In December 2007 the building was designated a category A listed building.[7] The owners then looked to convert it for residential, retail and other commercial use. The decision was referred to Scottish Government ministers for the final approval.[2] The company withdrew their plans to demolish the building and in 2014 a planning application was granted to convert it into a gym.[8] Work was suspended in December 2016 when a wall collapsed on three workmen.[9]
