Background
History
The building was originally used as Glasgow's fish market until the late 1970s. It was then converted into a shopping centre during the 1980s – this proved to be a temporary venture. In the 21st century it was converted into artists studios which opened to the public in August 2010. The incorporated steeple, which dates back to 1659 as part of the Merchants' House trade body headquarters (they later moved to new premises at George Square) and is a Category A listed structure in its own right, has been restored.
