St Monance Dec 9, 1920 newspaper article - Town Hall in Motherwell, Scotland 1
On January 8, 1893, William Irvine “began to serve the Lord.” Several sources state that Irvine was born again or professed faith in Christ when he was about 30 years old in a meeting held at the Town Hall of Motherwell, Lanarkshire, Scotland, through a well-known traveling evangelist named Rev. John McNeill. The Motherwell Town Hall is presently used as a Snooker Club. (Picture taken in 1995.) - Town Hall in Motherwell, Scotland

A 1911 postcard of the Victorian Gothic Christian Institute at 64-100 Bothwell St. Glasgow Scotland. The building occupied the entire block between W.Campbell St. & Blythswood St. The original Christian Institute at 70 Bothwell Street was opened in 1880, financed by the Rutherglen chemical manufacturer and philanthropist James White. The architect was John McLeod. Other architects were responsible for the addition of the Bible Training Institute to the east, and the YMCA as the west wing in 1896, resulting in an incongruous mixture of styles. During the 1970s the cost of maintaining the building became too high for the Glasgow United Evangelistic Association, who sold it to property developers. It was demolished and replaced by an office block.
