Glasgow Steiner School
52 Lumsden Street, Yorkhill
Open: Saturday & Sunday 10-4pm
Architect: John Burnet (1876)
This B-listed school building started life as Overnewton Public School and if you look above the first floor window of the outer gable on Lumsden St where it meets Overnewton St. there is a carving of the Glasgow Coat of Arms. Throughout its history the building has always been associated with children and has a unique design and character with many traditional features still intact. The Glasgow Steiner School owns the building and has recently launched a building appeal/project to try to restore and develop its much loved buildings, at the same time as becoming a low carbon/sustainable school.
Exhibition of education through the ages, history of the building, ethos of Steiner education and information about the building appeal and the vision for the school. Traditional children's activities. Cafe and live music. No access to gatehouse, shed or office.
