The former Ruchill Sanitation Wash House and Disinfection Station on Bilsland Drive in Glasgow. Built in 1893, it was part of the Ruchill Hospital, which was specifically constructed to treat patients with infectious diseases such as such smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, poliomyelitis and measles, all of which were common within the crowded living conditions found in much of Glasgow at the end of the Victorian era.
