The Lindsay Tenement and the Old Meal Mill, Cathcart. Glasgow. Scotland
Lindsay House is said to pre-date most tenements in Glasgow, having been built in 1863 by David Lindsay (son of the snuff mill owner) for himself and his workers. The tall, narrow baronial tenement seems out of keeping with the cottages in the vicinity and above the door is a perfect monogram with all the letters of the Lindsay name intertwined. The old mill buildings in the right, built as a meal mill in the 18th century were converted to a cardboard mill in 1812 with a small snuff mill added two years later. On David Lindsay’s death in 1902 the the mills closed and were subsequently converted into what they are today, Private houses.
