Glasgow Stock Exchange
Glasgow Stock Exchange, Category A listed architectural structure in central Glasgow, Scotland
Glasgow Stock Exchange is a five-story building featuring Venetian Gothic architectural details, located at the intersection of Nelson Mandela Place and Buchanan Street. Today it houses retail shops with multiple entrance points accessible from the surrounding streets.
The institution was founded in 1844 as a financial marketplace for trading securities. It grew significantly over the following decades, becoming a key part of Scotland's financial infrastructure before transitioning to its current retail use.
This building reflects Glasgow's Victorian financial ambitions through its architectural choices. The Gothic Revival style was meant to communicate reliability and prosperity to visitors.
The building sits at a prominent corner in the city center, making it easy to locate and access on foot from multiple directions. The various street-level entrances allow you to enter conveniently depending on which direction you approach from.
Between 1969 and 1971, the entire building temporarily moved its operations to Ingram Street while undergoing major renovations. This kind of complete relocation was unusual for such a large and established financial institution at the time.
