History
The building was originally used as Glasgow's fish market until the late 1970s. It was then converted into a shopping centre during the 1980s. This proved to be a temporary venture. In the 21st century it was converted into artists studios which opened to the public in August 2010. The steeple which dates back to 1665 has been restored.
