Fountainbridge Telephone Exchange was built from 1948-52 (architect Stewart Sim, Senior Architect to the Ministry of Works in Scotland).
The site had been cleared between the OS 3rd and 4th Editions of 1914 and 1931, possibly in conjunction with the truncation of the canal at Lochrin Basin and the filling in of Port Hamilton and Port Hopetoun.
