HERITAGE 

RE-ESTABLISHED

THE BOND

1847

The Bond occupies the site of the former Langside Halls.

1898

Langside Halls was bought by Glasgow wholesale warehousemen and shipowners, Hunter, Barr & Co Ltd.

1899

David Barclay designs a new building - initially to be a warehouse - for the site between 1899 and 1903.

1902

70,000 stones retained from the former Langside Halls were carefully numbered and moved to a new location at Queen's Park. Work also began on the newly designed building that would eventually become The Bond.

1903

Work is completed at the site, with the new property named the 'Hunter Barr Building'.

1986

The building is converted into office space and is renamed 'Guildhall'. It was the first building in the City to feature an 'atrium' design and layout.

2023

Today's refurbishment works are complete and Guildhall becomes 'The Bond'. The re-imagined building, with reception, first and second floors and wellbeing facilities all refurbished, brings together office and retail space under one roof, inspiring the new name.
