5 Kelvin Drive, Glasgow

4 Kelvin Drive in Glasgow is a terrace of substantial two-storey, three-bay houses built around 1865. The houses are constructed of painted ashlar with a channelled finish at the ground level. Each house features a central tripartite doorway, a four-light canted window to the right, and a three-light shallow projecting window to the left, both extending through two storeys. There are continuous cill courses, which are decorated on the first floor, and cornices above each storey. The roof has a pierced parapet with a circular design and is covered with slate. The gatepiers are square and corniced.

The inner door is set in a glazed screen, and the windows are sash and case with plate glass glazing. Number 8 has a decorative cast-iron verandah with barleysugar columns and an intricately patterned balustrade on the first floor.

Numbers 9 and 9a have been converted into two separate dwellings and feature an additional door. Number 13 has had its three-light window replaced with a bold four-light bow window. Above this, there is a large bowed dormer with a conical roof set in a Mansard roof, which has alternating bands of fishscale slates. Additionally, there are two further dormers with arched lights, one single and one tripartite.
