And Gatepiers, Blaven, 24 Boclair Crescent, Bearsden

Arthur Nicholson, 1925, for himself. Distinctive style, combining Scots 17th century with Dutch/South African/colonial architecture. Asymmetrical white-harled villa, 1 and 2 storeys with attic; glazing mostly small-paned; red-tiled and flat roofs. Crow-stepped main range has 3-bay L-plan front, curly-gabled jamb left, dormer heads above main

eaves in remaining bays; doorway central is arched with moulded deep ingoes, decorative glazed inner door; plain stacks with red chimney cans. Low wings, that to left with bowed window. To rear, a loggia and a plain square 2-storey range which may not be original.

Many original interior fittings survive, including Baxi-type fires.

Garden and boundary walls also white-harled, ball-finialed gatepiers.
