History

[edit]

The company was established in 1903 by A. E. Scott and James Loughrin Bathgate.[3][4] In the 1930s, Scott-Bathgate expanded, opening branch offices, warehouses, and factories across Canada.[5]

In 1905, Scott and Bathgate built the current building at 149 Pioneer Avenue, which was added to in 1907. In 1945, Scott-Bathgate bought the Thomas Black Building at 80 Lombard, which was originally constructed for the Union Shoe and Leather Company.[6] The building comprises three sections built in 1896, 1898, and 1907. In January 2007, the company moved most of its production and distribution business to the former T. Eaton Company warehouse between Alexander and Galt Avenues, out from the Nutty Club building at 149 Pioneer Ave and the Lombard building.[7]
