Is this the best gushet building in Glasgow? A gushet building is one constructed on a narrow strip of land at a junction between two roads (in this case Paisley Road West and Govan Road). Designed in a Renaissance style by Bruce and Hay, it was built in the 1880s as the Ogg Brothers Drapery Warehouse and Department Store.
@thisismyglasgow Originally the site of the Parkhouse Toll, controlling the entrance to two turnpike roads, as this plaque on a surviving gatepost recalls.
