Dyeworks and bonded store, No 546 Ballater Street, Glasgow This large U-plan block of six-storeyed bonded warehouses was built in 1897-1900 for C & D Gray and A & J Walker, proprietors of the Adelphi Distillery, about 1km to the west, to mature their grain whisky. It was constructed in three sections, all designed by Burnet & Boston, architects. This shows the warehouse from the south-east. Its severely functional design is evident. It was built on the site of the Adelphi Dyeworks, part of which, built in about 1878, was incorporated in this complex. Construction of this warehouse complex began in the whisky boom of the mid-1890s. By the time it was completed the boom had collapsed. The Adelphi Distillery was closed in 1907, after it was taken over by The Distillers' Co Ltd. who were still using these warehouses in 1965. They have since been demolished.

Greenhead Works, No 45 Greenhead Street, Glasgow This works was founded in 1859 by R & J Dick, gutta-percha manufacturers. The oldest part of the complex was Bartholomew's cotton-spinning mill, built c.1840, and purchased by the Dick brothers in 1859. This shows the frontage to Greenhead Street. The four-storeyed block was probably built in 1872-3, and the block to the right in 1886. These blocks were built to resemble tenements as they face Glasgow Green, an important public park. Gutta-percha is a close relation of India rubber, but is plastic rather than elastic. The Dick brothers used it to make the soles of canvas shoes, golf balls and other moulded products. When they retired they gave the business to their senior employees. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
