John Honeyman & Keppie's drawings submitted to the Glasgow Dean of Guild Court in 1891 show alterations for taking-in doors at the second, third and fourth floors of this store, and the conversion of a ground-floor window to a door. The same contractors returned seven years later to carry out further, minor work. Drawings prepared by the practice in 1901, which show neither additions nor alterations, appear to have been required by the Glasgow Corporation Master of Works for approving the store's cubic capacity.
Authorship: This is one of over 270 jobs carried out in the office of John Honeyman & Keppie (Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh from 1901) during Mackintosh's time there. Mackintosh undoubtedly worked on many of these, but there is no specific evidence for his involvement in this case.
