The oldest surviving buildings in central Airdrie, the pair of weavers' cottages were saved from dereliction by Monklands District Council and renovated by Harley and Murray in 1988. The upper part of the cottages are reconstructed as a weaver's house whilst he downstairs is used as an exhibition space. A unique survival from Airdrie's early history when as a pre-industrial weaving centre the town's streets were lined with similar cottages. The large bipartite windows on such small cottages are indicative of loom weaving which required a high level of natural lighting.
