A lone blonde sandstone tenement on Greenview Street in the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow. Such orphaned tenements, left standing when those around them were demolished between the 1950s and 1980s, often only survived because it was too expensive for the local council to buy out the licence for the pub on the ground floor.

There has been a pub on this site since at least the 1880s, when it was the Old Stag. However, the current built, known locally as the stag building, was constructed in 1905. Alongside the pub at that time was a chemist shop (Carmichaels Chemists) and a dairy (Dougie’s Dairy).
