Argyll Mansions, located on Argyle Street in Glasgow, sits amidst a historic part of the city with deep architectural and urban development significance. Originally part of Glasgow's older thoroughfares, Argyle Street has a history dating back to its days as Westergait, a medieval street that once connected the western city gate with the more central Trongate. Over time, Argyle Street evolved into a major retail and commercial hub, hosting the iconic Argyll Arcade and other Victorian-era buildings that capture the growth of Glasgow into a leading mercantile center.
Argyll Mansions is part of the architectural lineage of the area, shaped by the city's embrace of neoclassical and Victorian designs during the 18th and 19th centuries. This period marked significant urban planning efforts that saw the expansion of Glasgow westward, as well as the adaptation of earlier structures into fashionable new buildings to meet the needs of an increasingly commercial city center. Buildings like the Argyll Arcade were key in this transformation, introducing covered shopping spaces that became popular among the city's residents and visitors
