The Tenement House

About

Discover the Tenement House, a time capsule of early 20th-century Glasgow life, cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. Step inside this carefully preserved four-room flat to experience how Miss Agnes Toward, an independent working woman, lived over 100 years ago. With original furniture, everyday household items, and even the working coal-fired range and gas lighting, the flat offers a rare and authentic glimpse into the daily life of the city’s middle class. Explore the kitchen, parlour, bedroom and bathroom, and learn about Agnes' routines and resilience during a changing time in Glasgow’s history. The museum also includes a small display on tenement living across the city. After your visit, stop by the Wally Dug café for a hot drink and a cake, and browse the gift shop for locally inspired items and souvenirs. Whether you're interested in social history, architecture, or just curious about the past, the Tenement House offers a unique experience.
