About this Event

Two years before he died, Alexander' Greek' Thomson designed a pair of warehouses in Watson Street for shopkeeping brothers Gavin and William Millar, as part of their planned expansion to become 'the Largest Furniture Department in Scotland'. Dominic d'Angelo, Chair of The Alexander Thomson Society, looks at how both buildings ended up as lodging houses, and, on their 120th anniversary, the fire that would claim 40 lives.
