This block, at the corner of Glasgow Road and Bruce Street, was built by Dumbarton Building Society, as a plaque, visible on the wall on the right, bears witness; for its inscription, see Image The text "Erected 1906" originally followed those words; it will be seen from the picture of the inscription that there is the appearance of something's having been removed from just below it. The name Grange Place also appears on these buildings, both as incised lettering and on a faded sign, located near the other inscription, but just round the corner, on the side facing Glasgow Road. For a view with a little more context, see Image 265 metres to the east, a house on Image also has a Dumbarton Building Society stone built into it; the stone serves mainly to commemorate the Society's Jubilee in 1923, but it also indicates that the buildings on the west side of Silverton Avenue were built in that year. For the stone itself, see Image
