Scope and Content Aerated Water Factory, Nos 23-7 Oxford Street, Glasgow This factory was built in 1885 for Barclay Brothers, bottlers and incorporated six three-roomed flats and stables as well as the factory itself. Aerated waters were becoming popular in the 1880s as living standards rose, and the Temperance Movement grew in strength. This shows the building from the north-east. The pedimented doorway led to the office, and the entrance to the works and stables was in the lane on the left. The flats are on the upper floors. The works had passed through several hands since its construction, and was latterly a Muslim centre. The works had a short life for its designed purpose. In 1902 it was occupied by Clark, Scott & Co, electrical and general engineers and general and ornamental brass-founders, specialising in light fittings, and in 1924 it was a synagogue. It was demolished in the early 1970s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
