This station was built for the Glasgow District Subway Co, with an underground island platform similar to those at the other stations on the line, but with an elaborate surface building, designed by James Miller, architect, which housed the booking office and the offices of the company.
This shows the surface building from the south-east, seen from the carriage road in front of St Enoch Railway Station. The entrance to the underground station is at the far end, under the canopy seen here.
The Subway Co was acquired by Glasgow Corporation in 1922, and the original cable-operated system electrified in 1935. The system was completely rebuilt in 1978-80. During this process the St Enoch station was remodelled, the surface building being lifted, and converted into a travel centre.
