Tobacco Merchant's House, Historic merchant residence in Miller Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom.
The three-story stone building at 42 Miller Street features symmetrical windows, a central entrance, and simplified Palladian architectural details from the 1770s.
Robert Hastie acquired the property in 1772, followed by John Craig and Robert Findlay, reflecting the succession of tobacco merchants during Glasgow's commercial growth.
The house represents the intermediate social status between wealthy Tobacco Lords and ordinary traders, showing the economic divisions in 18th-century Glasgow society.
The building now serves as the headquarters of the Scottish Civic Trust and provides office spaces following its restoration in 1995.
This structure remains the last surviving Virginia tobacco merchant's house in Glasgow, preserving evidence of the city's historical tobacco trade connections.
