Glasgow Soldiers' Home
Glasgow Soldier's Home was a respite for soldiers and their wives near Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow, Scotland. It was completed in 1899. The home was established by Alice Osborne. The building is category 'C' listed. It occupies 1236 Maryhill Road, on the corner of Ruchill Street. Construction started in 1892, triggering other similar facilities to be built at Redford Barracks in Edinburgh and Barry Buddon Training Area, Barry Buddon outside Dundee. For a fee soldiers could rent a room. The newlywed soldiers could spend their honeymoon night there. It offered a tearoom and a quiet room. It was described as "a neat edifice open to visitors". An honorary superindendant who served for 24 years was Willamina Davidson OBE, who raised substantial sums and was involved in the Edinburgh and Barry Buddon facilities. As of 2017 the building is in use as a nightclub. References {{coord, 55.8874, -4.2852, type:landmark_region:GB, display=title Buildings and structures in Glasgow ...

Half Front Of Glasgow Soldiers Home In Modern Day
One half ( : halves) is the irreducible fraction resulting from dividing one by two or the fraction resulting from dividing any number by its double. Multiplication by one half is equivalent to division by two, or "halving"; conversely, division by one half is equivalent to multiplication by two, or "doubling". One half often appears in mathematical equations, recipes, measurements, etc. Half can also be said to be one part of something divided into two equal parts. For instance, the area ''S'' of a triangle is computed. :''S'' = × perpendicular height. One half also figures in the formula for calculating figurate numbers, such as triangular numbers and pentagonal numbers: : \frac and in the formula for computing magic constants for magic squares : M_2(n) = \frac \left(n^ + 1\right) The Riemann hypothesis states that every nontrivial complex root of the Riemann zeta function has a real part equal to . One half has two different decimal expansion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
