This former office building is an important and prominent part of the former St Rollox Locomotive Works in Springburn, Glasgow (listed separately as LB52603). Located at the northwest corner of the former locomotive works complex, it has particular prominence on Springburn Road, where the historical association of the former office building with the workshop ranges to the south is evident by the matching architectural treatment of red brick with pale brick dressings, round-arched windows and pilastered bays.
St Rollox Locomotive Works (LB52603) is a rare example of a surviving 19th century centre for locomotive manufacture and repair. First built in 1854–56 for the Caledonian Railway Company, the Works were enlarged and remodelled by the company between 1884 and 1886 to the designs of Robert Dundas, with construction superintended by Dugald Drummond. By 1900, St Rollox had become Scotland's largest locomotive manufacturing and repair works. It is now among the last and most complete examples of this building type in the country and is a rare example of a 19th century industrial works on this scale. It is also the only surviving example of a locomotive works in Springburn, which was once a global centre of locomotive construction.
