This was the site Glasgow's first bank The Ship Bank on the corner of Saltmarket and Bridgegate. The bank was founded in 1750 by a group of Glasgow's leading Tobacco Lords. The bank subsequently moved to new premises the building was used for shops and dwellings. In 1845 a public house opened on the ground floor. The premises were rebuilt in 1904 and the corner tower and cupola became a landmark.
