Scope and Content Warehouses, No 340 and Nos 352-72 Abercromby Street, Glasgow No 340 was constructed in 1888 for Alexander Raeside, glass merchant and manufacturers, to designs by D V Wyllie, architect. The same architect designed another warehouse to the south for Raeside, built 1892-3. This shows the 1888 warehouse in the centre, ashlar-fronted, and classically detailed. The much larger 1892-3 warehouse is on the left, also ashlar-fronted, but in this case of red sandstone, with giant-order pilasters breaking up its bulk. Though Raeside was a glass manufacturer and merchant in 1888, by 1892-3 he had also become a yarn merchant and manufacturer, presumably supplying the extensive power-loom weaving industry of the east end of Glasgow.
