 Mosesfield House in Springburn Park Mosesfield House - a listed building - stands near the site of the old Mosesfield House that was occupied from 1790 by William Moses a merchant who made his fortune from selling sedan chairs. The present Mosesfield House was built in 1838 by the architect David Hamilton. It later became a church manse. The son of the minister, George Johnston, built the first motor car produced in Scotland in October 1895 at Mosesfield yard. Sir William Arroll financed Arroll-Johnston which produced motor cars for 30 years. Mosesfield House was presented to Glasgow Corporation in 1904. It was used as a museum until the second world war. Thereafter it was used as an old men's club house. |
