12 Woodside Crescent, Glasgow

9 Woodside Crescent in Glasgow is a classical curved terrace designed by architect George Smith in 1831. The terrace is truncated at the south and adjoins Woodside Terrace to the north. Each house features a three-bay elevation, with two storeys, attics, a basement, and a sub-basement at the rear.

The building is constructed of polished ashlar, with the ground floor either stone-cleaned or painted and channelled, featuring bold voussoirs over the openings, except at Nos 14 and 15. There are shallow advanced six-bay pavilions, with three storeys at Nos 8 and 9 and two storeys at Nos 14 and 15. Steps lead down to recessed tripartite doors with fanlights and sidelights. The two-storey pavilion includes paired Greek Doric porches with a carved frieze and a balcony above; the ground floor windows are architraved and aproned, while all upper windows are also architraved.

The three-storey pavilion has bracketed windows, with two corniced and four pedimented windows on the first floor. Ashlar brackets support a full-width decorative cast-iron balcony. The sash windows feature either plate glass or four-pane glazing. There is a band course between the floors, an eaves course, a cornice, and a deep plain parapet at the pavilions, while the rest of the roof has a balustrade with dormers behind. Octagonal flues are located below the ridge and are plain above, with slate roofs. The basement and steps are enclosed by cast-iron railings. Notably, No 13 has copper door lettering and a good leaded glass fanlight.

The rear elevation of the terrace features Nos 6 and 7, which display Tudor details. No 6 has a near full-height canted bay window with a crenellated parapet, while No 7 has a full-height square bay window supported by square pillars that rises from the basement.

Additionally, at No 19, there is a free-standing laundry building designed by architect Robert Thomson in 1899. This single-storey structure is made of polished ashlar and has a piended roof. It features a five-bay elevation with an advanced centre three-bay section that includes tall transomed windows breaking through the eaves, topped with a heavy cornice and parapet. The right bay was originally a door but is now a window, while the left bay has had its window mullion removed.
