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 first part to be completed, in Kent Road. This has all the Classical calmness of which Sellars was a master. The building was in a residential area, and its clientele was upper middle class, so an architectural set-piece was a good investment. This was the largest complex of its kind in Glasgow. After motor cars supplanted horse-drawn carriages it was adapted for motor vehicle storage and repair. It fell out of use in the 1980s, and was demolished in the mid-1990s to make way for an office complex. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
