Burns Home, Partick
« on: Sunday 16 August 09 14:40 BST (UK) »
Hi folks, I've just found a relative, Duncan McGuigan, listed as living at Burns Home, 83 Douglas Street, Partick, Glasgow on the 1901 Census.
He's listed as a Boarder along with lots of other men, all working.
I just wondered if anyone had heard of Burns Home, or can I assume it was just a big lodging house for men. Thanks

The Burns company owned and operated a number of these premises

Basically they were privately run versions of the Model Lodging Houses
