| Glen Mill store. It burned - as a child I saw it from the attic of No 3 opposite - probably 1937. |

| Baptist Church. Burned down in 1938. Fire and water damage to Nos 1 and 3 Houston St alongside led to that building being emptied and the inhabitants housed elsewhere. |

 Shipbuilding became one of Scotland's major industries in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Kingston yard was established in 1874, and eventually became part of the Scott-Lithgow group, who ran it until 1997 when it was cleared and sold off to Clydeport plc for redevelopment. It is now occupied by housing. |
