Dalintober Street/53 Morrison Street, was originally designed in 1919 by architect James Ferrigan as a warehouse for the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society and completed in 1933. The building was converted to 60 flats and four commercial units in 1999. After a survey discovered


that the building would deteriorate rapidly if the almost 100-year-old roof was not completely replaced at a cost of £1.135 million, Speirs Gumley successfully applied for an emergency grant of £576,000 from Glasgow City Council. With this financial assistance in place, Speirs Gumley was then able to gain approval from the homeowners and business owners to pay their share of the remaining costs. As well as replacing the


roof, improvements were also made to the underground car park and stairwells along with a refurbishment of the façade.
