It has been covered in scaffolding for fifteen years as the building languishes
The owners of the Egyptian Halls have been ordered to stop putting ads on scaffolding on the A-list building, which has been languishing for decades
Adverts on the redevelopment of the General Post Office on George Square are thought to have netted the owners around £70,000 a month. Refusing to comply with the interdict, which was served on July 24, could result in Mr Souter being found to be in contempt of court.permission and despite a Scottish Government appeal being rejected has had six different advertisements on the scaffolding since June 2022.
In May 2021, the Scottish Civic Trust established The Egyptian Halls SCIO, which aims to acquire ownership of the building and undertake a full restoration programme. Its trustees include Paul Sweeney MSP, John Nicolson MP, and Murray Grigor. "It's not going to be overnight, it will take time and significant investment but I think there are a lot of folk who are interested in a future."Built using cast iron and stone, the Egyptian Halls was one of the last major projects of Alexander Thomson.
In 2003 Glasgow City Council bought the building just before its CPO was due to expire in the hope that USD would find the funding to complete the restoration.
