18 Lynedoch Crescent, Glasgow

17 Lynedoch Crescent in Glasgow is a classical crescent designed by architect George Smith between 1845 and 1848. The crescent is arranged around a D-shaped garden and extends into Lynedoch Street. It consists of two storeys and attics above a basement, featuring three-storey inner and terminal pavilions. The houses, including 6, 18, 22, and 24 Lynedoch Street, are detailed as terminal pavilions.

Each house has a three-bay elevation, constructed from polished ashlar that is either painted or cleaned. The ground level of the terminal pavilions is channelled. There are steps that oversail the basement leading to architraved doorpieces with consoled cornices, fanlights, and pilastered reveals. The inner pavilions have paired Greek Doric porches, while the outer pavilions feature doors with pilastered reveals and fanlights. The ground floor windows are architraved and aproned with consoled cornices, while all upper windows are architraved and corniced at the first floor. The sash windows are mostly four-pane or plate-glass glazing.

A continuous string course runs over the ground and at the first-floor cills, except at the inner pavilions. The pavilions have cill bands at the second floor, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. There is a roof balustrade at Nos 10 and 11, axial stacks, and slate roofs. The basement and steps are enclosed by cast-iron railings. A blocked door between Nos 16 and 17 indicates a possible late 19th-century alteration, along with the removal of basement steps.

The interiors feature good plasterwork, particularly at No 7, which includes Corinthian pilasters and a column screen, as well as elaborate cast iron balusters on the staircase. An attic floor was added to No 9 by John A Campbell in 1902. The gardens surrounding the crescent are enclosed by a low ashlar wall.
