Scope and Content Cotton Thread Works, No 100 Duke Street, Glasgow This works was built in 1849 for R F & J Alexander, thread manufacturers, to designs by Charles Wilson, one of Glasgow's leading architects. As a result of mergers and takeovers in the thread industry the building became redundant, and was converted into a working men's hotel in 1909. This shows the works from the north-east, looking along Duke Street. The central entrance was added during the conversion into a working men's hotel. The top floor is also a later addition. The original building has a fireproof interior, with brick arches on cast iron columns. Charles Wilson, as well as being a fashionable designer of houses, churches and public buildings, appears to have also designed a number of industrial buildings. This was one of his largest. The building closed as working men's hotel in 2001. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
