Flourish House WHEN you think of the architects famous for designing Glasgow’s most striking buildings, who comes to mind? Mackintosh and Greek Thomson would be on the list, undoubtedly - but another talented name in the field is less well known. Eric Alexander Sutherland is the genius behind Flourish House, once New City Road Congregational Church, on Ashley Street in the west end. This lovely Category B listed building, with its elegant facade and stunning vaulted ceiling, is now home to a mental health recovery centre. It was built in 1924 on what was then Cumberland Street West and it remained a church until 1949, when it was converted into offices.
