Lilybank House

The Centre for Business History moved to the recently refurbished Lilybank House in 2005.   A map and directions are available.

Lilybank House was built in the 1830s for Robert Allan, a Glasgow merchant, and was also home to John Blackie, under whose ownership the house was extended by Alexander "Greek" Thomson in the 1860s.  Further additions were made in the 1890s by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The building is part of the Thomson Heritage Trail, as commemmorated by a plaque on Thomson's wing.

Lilybank House was also used as a hall of residence for female students at the University. More recently it has housed the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Applied Social Sciences.
