Apparently the mansion was the home of the City of Glasgow Bank, the Post Office (1840-57) and the Trades House.
I had no idea that Trongate was known as St. Thenaw's Gate in 1454, when the Tolbooth was mentioned as being beside the Cross, at the corner of St. Thenaw's Gait and High Street. Fascinating stuff.
