Messrs, Wylie & Lochhead
From Glasgow
Originally a firm of undertakers, cabinetmakers and furnishers. It was founded in 1829 by William Lochhead and Robert Wylie with premises in Trongate and then (from 1844) in one of Victorian Glasgow's first iron-framed warehouses at 28 Argyle Street. In 1855 Wylie & Lochhead moved to 45 Buchanan Street.
In 1957 the firm was acquired by House of Fraser and the building on Buchanan Street became their flagship department store in Scotland.
