Scope and Content Clothing factory, No 12 Montrose Street, Glasgow This shows the factory from the north-west, with the firm's warehouse on the right, and another warehouse, built in 1876 for Benjamin Simons, fruit broker, on the left. The enormous bulk of the clothing factory is barely mitigated by the sparse architectural features. It was an office in 1971. This was a rare Glasgow example of a large clothing factory. Stewart & Macdonald was one of a number of Glasgow suppliers of goods to retailers throughout Scotland. Customers could be given a 'line' which allowed them to choose items the retail profit on which would be passed on to the retailers concerned. This large red-sandstone-faced block was built in 1898 for Stewart & Macdonald, wholesale warehousemen, and designed by James Thomson. It had an underground link to the firm's warehouse on the other side of Ingram Street. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
