  • yep, there are slots in the door frame which could be where the bed was attached. Will post pics later on

    tenement history is cool, i found a mezuzah mark on each doorway in the house, and also raunchy WWII era pencil graffiti underneath old wallpaper when we moved in here last year

  • That's interesting, normally you'd just have a mezuzah on the storm door so maybe at some point it was a lodging house. Our flat has marks on the bedroom doors that would indicate that they all locked separately at one point.

    What neighbourhood are you in? Here in Pollokshields there are two old closed synagogues nearby (one on Nithsdale Rd, one on Niddrie Rd).

  • i'm right round the corner from the niddrie rd one - thankfully it has just been listed but it'd be cool to see it in use again, for any purpose!

    Never thought about it being a lodging house - will have to inspect the doorframes carefully for evidence!
