OFFICE OF COX BROTHERS/ JUTE INDUSTRIES LTD
This 1883-6, Italian renaissance style building, far from the works in Lochee, was connected by telephone from the 1880s. It was expanded in
the 1920s as HQ of conglomerate Jute Industries Ltd.
Other jute company offices were smaller, and much business was transacted in the street, or from offices in Cowgate or King Street, in shared premises like Mercantile or India Buildings (Victoria Road) just west of Cox’s, the Chamber of Commerce or adjacent jute exchange (replaced by Royal Exchange Buildings, 1956).
