Scope and Content Weaving Factory, Nos 189-203 Rutherglen Road, Glasgow This complex was part of a group of three mills built in 1816-21 for Robert Humphreys, cotton spinner. They later passed to Robert Thomson, and probably stopped spinning cotton in the 1860s. The four-storeyed block on Rutherglen Road was built in 1817-21. This shows part of the Rutherglen Road frontage of the mill complex. The building on the right is part of the 1817-21 block, and was, in 1964, part of William Wiseman & Sons Ltd's engine-cleaning waste factory. To the left is the end of the surviving fireproof mills of 1816-17. These blocks at Nos 203 and 189 Rutherglen Road were converted into modern offices in 1994 to designs by McGurn, Logan, Duncan & Opfer, architects, retaining the original structures.
