These were built by privatley, however in Glasgow, the collapse of the City of Glasgow Bank in 1878 brought ruin to builders and financiers. Building resumed with gusto in the 1880's and tenements were built at an alarming rate, aimed at blue-collar workers who would pay rent to their landlords (who would own an entire block or stair / close)
