[2] By 1901, the store was rebuilt in a design by architects John Honeyman and John Keppie, with a gilt dome designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh,[3] and sold a wide range of goods, including clothes, millinery, confectionery, carpets, furniture, ironmongery and china.
In 1904, Pettigrew incorporated the company, and leased the Fine Art Institute building at 171-179 Sauchiehall Street, using it as a furniture department.
During 1914, the store was extended, making it one of the biggest in Scotland,[4] with a further extension being added in 1923 to incorporate a specialist men's department.
The business was continued to be run as a separate company by the SDC until 1952, when the Corporation and all of its subsidiaries were purchased by House of Fraser.
[5] The store continued to trade as Pettigrew & Stephens within the House of Fraser group, but its company status was wound up in 1955.
