Interesting building with quite a mix of styles - which makes it seem a bit confusing.

The Caledonia Road Church in Glasgow was built in 1856–1857 by architect Alexander „Greek“ Thomson in the neoclassical style. The temple-like facade with Ionic columns is striking. The church served for a long time as the center of the community in the Gorbals district. After its closure in 1963, it was severely damaged by fire in 1965. Today it is a listed ruin, considered an important example of the Greek Revival style and a significant work by Thomson.
