history |
St Vincent Street Church, Glasgow, originated with a Secession congregation in Anderston and Blythswood which established itself in Melville Street (now Gordon Street) in 1823. On the acquisition of the site by the Caledonian Railway Co, the congregation, hitherto Melville Street United Secession Church, moved to St Vincent Street at Pitt Street, where their new church, to designs by Alexander (Greek) Thomson, was dedicated in 1859. Thenceforth the congregation was St Vincent Street United Presbyterian (later United Free) Church. It joined the Church of Scotland in 1929 and was dissolved in 1939. As a Church of Scotland charge it was in the presbytery of Glasgow and the synod of Clydesdale. |
