The McLellan Galleries are within a large block bounded by Sauchiehall Street, Rose Street, Renfrew Street and Dalhousie Street. The side facing Sauchiehall Street includes shops. Built in 1855, the galleries are named after Archibald McLellan, a wealthy coach builder, who died in 1854. He bequeathed 400 paintings to the City of Glasgow which formed the basis of the civic art collection. The building was badly damaged by fire in 1986. It re-opened in 1990 as the largest quality, climate-controlled, temporary exhibition gallery in Scotland. For several years it was operated by Glasgow Museums and more recently has been a studio space for Glasgow School of Art. They are Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33192.
