Built as a terraced house in the early 19th century, 224 St Vincent Street was already in commercial use by the 1880s. In 1900 John Honeyman & Keppie designed a rear addition containing suites of offices.

Authorship: Mackintosh was evidently involved in this project. The drawings submitted to the Glasgow Dean of Guild Court for approval have annotations in his handwriting, and one appears to have been drawn by him. The job-book entry is also partly written in his hand.
