Scope and Content Warehouses, Nos 114-28 Howard Street, Glasgow These warehouses were both built in 1903, No 114 for Schrader, Mitchell & Weir, leather merchants, to designs by Andrew Balfour, architect, and No 118 for William Cotterill, glass merchant. The latter was designed by Beattie & Morton, architects. This shows the warehouses from the north-west, looking along Howard Street. No 114 is the building with the nearer one, with the round-headed windows in the fifth floor. No 118 is the four-storeyed and attic building next door. The construction of these warehouses was part of a revival of this city centre area, first developed in the late 18th century. It may have been encouraged by the extension of St Enoch Station, completed in 1902. No 114 collapsed in about 1999, and No 118 is empty and decaying. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
