Macdonald's Proud Heritage
Buildings design by John Thomas Rochead
Our Building in the early 1900s The building itself is a piece of Glasgow's history. Thought to have been built around 1844, it is believed to have been designed by John Thomas Rochead - the designer and architect of the world famous Wallace Monument in Stirling. Other notable works by Rochead include The Royal Arch in Dundee, The Bank of Scotland Buildings in St. Vincent Street and on George Square, and also North Park House in Kelvinside, which until recently was the home of BBC Scotland.

An old poster for the Victoria Bicycle companyOriginally a place of worship for St. Andrews Free Church, around 1878 it was believed to have housed the plumber's workshop of Archibald Bruce - who played an key role in the development of the Scottish licensed trade industry, developing beer and spirit raising engines which were widely used in many public houses throughout Glasgow and the surrounding regions.

An old press advert for D Macdonald and BrothersIn the late 1800's it became home to Victoria Bicycle and Motorcycle Company (originally from Denniston), and was a workshop and store front where customers could watch their bikes getting made. They were also the makers of Scotland's most famous and successful motorcycle - The Victoria. Records show that they made this bike from around 1902 until around 1926.

Becoming premises for a furniture retailer around 1928, the building underwent some development and restoration work. This was carried out by architects Keppie and Henderson in the 1940's, enabling D. Macdonald & Brothers to utilise the full potential of the building as a retail outlet with warehousing.

D. Macdonald & Brothers originally produced furniture for cruise liners, and crossed over into the home furniture market shortly thereafter. Although keeping the name of Macdonald Furnishing the company changed hands over the years until 1984 when Macdonald’s became part of the Forrest Furnishing family, continuing to this day the proud tradition of offering the finest furniture available from around the world.
