Using Google again you can search the address 657,Edgefauld Road Glasgow and it looks like it was a poor house ( Barnhill )

Milncroft Cottages can be seen on this map from 1933:

You can get an idea where this was from this view which dates from before the cottages were built. They were immediately to the left of Milncroft bridge.

From an article in the Northern Whig, August 1934
entitled "Borstal Boys' Dash For Freedom"

A daring dash for liberty was made by six youths from Barlinnie Prison, Glasgow, yesterday.
...
After a mile's chase three of the youths were run to earth at Milncroft Cottages, a settlement on the banks of the Monkland Canal occupied by old age pensioners.

He was not an inmate of the Poorhouse, but died in the hospital part.
