Historic North Glasgow pub may become Citizens Advice Bureau
The service is bidding to move into the ground floor of the building.
Papers revealed that a previous application for three flats was rejected by the council.
This time, Citizens Advice is proposing to set up a location in the listed building, as well as sublet it to complementary organisations currently based at 1455 Maryhill Road.
Documents stated the site was "designed by architects Malcolm Stark and Rowntree in three phases between 1892 and 1899, originally built as soldiers' home and occupies the site opposite the site of the former Wyndford Barracks."
Later, it was turned into Framptons, a pub and snooker bar.
Despite the pool hall closing in 2006, after the indoor smoking ban, the bar remained open.
This closed in 2020, due to the Covid pandemic and failed to reopen successfully.

The application said: "The building owner has spent a number of years marketing the ground floor as offices, a café, restaurant and has received interest from high street operators such as Ladbrokes, Costa and Starbucks, however, none have materialised into a solid proposal to move forward.
"The Citizens Advice Bureau approached the owners as the lease on their existing premises was due to expire at the end of 2025 and following a lengthy development of design for an office layout, it was ultimately decided to lease the entire ground floor and offer space to their sister organisations.
"The proposals are to create office spaces, interview spaces, staff facilities, conference and training areas within the entire ground floor.
"The access will be from all three current entrance positions, however, due to a change of level, a new accessible entrance has been formed to the north lane, which also serves as a means of escape."
Glasgow City Council's planning officers are evaluating the application and a decision is expected by

Badenoch says ‘rush' to meet net zero pushing up holiday costs
The Conservative Party leader opened a new domestic arrivals building at London Stansted Airport in her North West Essex constituency on Friday. She slammed Labour's 'ideological' plans to reach net zero by 2050, a target she previously dismissed as impossible to meet, and said they would hit holidaymakers. 'Labour's ideological rush to Net Zero 2050 is not only bankrupting our country and leaving us dangerously reliant on China, it's also making holidays more expensive, just as the cost-of-living crisis for working people gets worse. 'Under my leadership the Conservative Party are going to make things easier for the makers, the people who work hard to provide for their families, and not force up the cost of their summer holidays,' she said. The Tory leader pointed to plans to raise air passenger duty and the Climate Change Committee's call for the cost of decarbonising aviation to be reflected in the cost of flights. Speaking to airport staff during the visit, Mrs Badenoch told them how the pandemic showed how 'critical' Stansted was for the local economy. 'But I always tell the story of how when Covid hit and so many people lost their jobs, all of those people turned up in my surgeries. 'It really showed just how critical the airport was, how important it was for the local community and well beyond.' The new arrivals building was part of a £1.1 billion transformation at Stansted, the UK's fourth largest airport. The work, expected to continue over the next three to four years, will also include a £600 million extension to the main terminal, increasing its size by 40%.
