Superblyrestored in 2007 by Glasgow Building Preservation Trust this building has won multiple awards (RIBA, GIA, Scottish Design Award, Georgian Award, Civic Trust Award) it is a Doors Open Day "must see"! The B-listed Georgian stable block of the former Castlemilk House (demolished 1960's) dates back to the 1750's. Saved and restored thanks to a local community campaign, the building now serves as offices for Cassiltoun Housing Association, set around an elegant glazed cloister. Tours of the building will be available. Tea, coffee and 'apple pressing' will also be available. Taster sessions of some of the wider action activities that Stables delivers will be available, eg Impact Arts "Creative Cafe", Fab Pad and some children's activities. There will be a special 'one off' tour of the building led by Tom Connolly, the project architect, on Saturday at 12 noon. Access restricted to public areas only
