The whisky distillery, of which Provost Adam Dawson was a proprietor, was moved from its former site at Bonnytoun Farm to be near supplies of coal and coke transported along the canal in 1834. The distillery was called St Magdalene's because of its situation on the lands of St Magdalene's Cross, once the site of the popular and important 'Madline' fair, which in turn derived its name from St Magdalene's Chapel which at one time stood nearby. In 1912 the owners A & J Dawson Ltd went into liquidation, and it was taken over by The Distillers Company, which was incorporated into Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd in 1914. Flatted by Alfred Cooper, Glasgow Architect.
