Scope and Content Warehouses & Offices, Nos 37-41 Midland Street, Glasgow This building was constructed in 1869 for John Stewart & Co, iron merchants, selling a wide range of materials in small quantities. In 1881 the firm were: iron, steel and tinplate merchants and general wholesale and export ironmongers and agents for Cordes & co' patent wrought-iron nails and the Putnam horse nails. This shows the building from the north-west. The central arched doorway led to the store, with wooden floors and cast iron columns. It still had wooden bins for storing nails and other small items, and deep bins for storing lengths of iron and steel rods, bars and other sections. Stewarts were still occupying the central warehouse built for them in 1869, but the rest of the building was, as had been intended when the building was constructed, let out to other firms, including The Glasgow Engineering Supplies Co. The building was demolished in about 1970. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
