Scope and Content Brass foundry, No 131 Minerva Street, Glasgow This foundry was built in 1869 for J & W Young, ships' plumbers and brass founders. The firm had been founded in Anderston in 1820 by William Young, and after his death in 1845 it was run by his sons. This shows the frontage building, which housed the offices and plumbers' shop on the ground floor, the brass finishers' shop on the first floor, and the pattern-making shop in the attic. The moulding shops were ranged round a courtyard, and part of one, with its roof-ridge ventilator, can be seen on the left. In 1964 the building was occupied by Havelock Ltd, engineers and welders, and the original red and white brick façade had been covered with cement render. The building has since been converted into flats, with the demolition of the buildings to the rear. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
