It was once the HQ for the Scottish Stock Exchange.
Glasgow city centre is home to many examples of world-class architecture with many formal design models from gothic style buildings to Victorian tenements.
This was all set to change as by 1930, the stock exchange had 277 members with many banks and insurance companies now working in the building. On the re-opening of the building in 1971, at time time, Glasgow Times reported: "The modernised premises will provide more spacious and comfortable accommodation for the staff and workers, and create a freer market with the business of all the stock exchanges in Scotland being concentrated in one building."
Since the closure of the stock market in Scotland there have been many calls and attempts to re-establish the industry in Scotland but many economic factors have led those projects to dead ends.
