Archibald Elliot II, David Hamilton, Robert Black 1827 No larger image: Royal Exchange Glasgow: image © adrian welch Typical for Glasgow, this church was surrounded by a later Square. A Tobacco Lord's House was built here in 1778. Royal Exchange Glasgow: image © adrian welch The Royal Bank commissioned Archibald Elliot II in 1827 to design a bank, shops and offices. The terrace on the north side is by David Hamilton & James Smith - architect of the McLellan Galleries - in 1830-39. The Royal Exchange is now goma - Gallery of Modern Art - but was designed by David Hamilton in 1827. The building has an unusual 'wedding cake' cylindrical cupola atop facing east into the Merchant City. The statue of Wellington on his horse facing Ingram St dates from 1844.
