Scope and Content Stables and workshops, Nos 97-113 Berkeley Street, Glasgow This large block of buildings was built between 1870 and 1873 for John Wylie (and the successor firm Wylie & Lochhead), to designs by James Sellars, one of the leading Glasgow architects of the period. It was built as a livery stables and coachworks. This shows the Berkeley Street frontage from the north-east. This was the last part to be built, completed in 1873. The three vehicular entrances gave access to two levels of vehicle storage, and a top floor of stables. The roof was supported on unusual wrought-iron trusses. This was the largest complex of its kind in Glasgow. Many of the middle-class residents in the west end of the city did not keep their own horses and carriages, relying on establishments like this to provide them as required. This block was demolished in the mid-1990s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
