Talk:City of Glasgow Bank

Closure of New York Agency
According to this source, the closure of the bank's New York agency took place in 1857, not 1877. There is nothing in the source that the page does cite which refers to the New York agency being closed, so I'm not sure where the date 1877 came from to begin with?

Location of Head Office
According to Central Glasgow, An Illustrated Architectural Guide by McKean, Walker & Walker, The Rutland Press, ISBN 1-873190-22-0, p 58, the huge block at 42-70 Trongate, which extends a massive 24 bays up Albion St, was built in 1854 for the City of Glasgow Bank. It is so big it must be a head office, not a branch. Did the bank move here from Glassford St? If so, they didn't stay in Glassford St long. Exbrum (talk) 09:00, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
