New Iron and Glass Warehouse at Glasgow, 1856. Creator: Unknown.

New Iron and Glass Warehouse at Glasgow, 1856. 'This building has a frontage of eighty-seven feet to Jamaica-street on the east, and fifty-five feet to Ann-street on the south. The two fronts...are composed entirely of cast iron and British plate glass...The general features of the building are - lightness of construction, giving great admission of light, unobstructed floor room, and facility of division, to suit different classes of tenants. One powerful heating apparatus is being made to heat the whole premises. The framed girders...are constructed of malleable iron flat bars at top and bottom, having cast-iron distending frames or blocks placed between them...These girders and the shop shutters to be used at this building have been invented by Mr. Robert M'Connel, the contractor for the iron work, and are now secured by patent'.
