Description

19 Woodlands Terrace in Glasgow is a notable building designed by architect Charles Wilson in 1855. This structure features a pair of symmetrical curved terraces in the French Renaissance style, consisting of three storeys and an attic over a basement. The terminal pavilions are slightly taller and have individual roofs. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar, with the ground floor channelled and either painted or cleaned.

Each house has a two-bay elevation, with two-storey canted bay windows topped by plain parapets. Steps lead down to tripartite doorpieces adorned with consoled cornices, which continue as a band course on the first floor. All windows are architraved, with tripartite designs above the bays. The first-floor windows feature lion mask consoles and cornices, while the second-floor pavilion windows are also corniced. The sash windows are either plate glass or have four-pane glazing. Continuous string courses mark the cills of the first and second floors, and there is a bracketted cornice. The round-headed dormers have spike finials, and the pavilion dormers are grouped as pedimented Venetian windows. The building has end and axial stacks, with those facing Park Street South displaying incised geometric decoration, and it is topped with steeply pitched slate roofs. The property is enhanced by good cast-iron railings to the basements and some steps, while other steps have stone parapets with scroll details.

Inside, there are Corinthian column screens, impressive plasterwork ceilings, and cast-iron balusters on the stairs. The flanks are detailed as pavilions, featuring single-storey canted bay windows on the first floor, except for No. 1 Park Terrace, which has a square bay window. No. 1 Park Terrace also includes a single-storey addition to the rear, a billiard room designed by J A Campbell in 1900, featuring painted ashlar, a broken pedimented niche above the door, and a square end bay.

The interior is panelled and includes an inglenook fireplace, plaster frieze, and stained glass, along with elaborately carved doors. At Nos. 14 and 19 Park Terrace, the doors have been converted into tripartite windows. The flank of 24 Woodlands Terrace features a corniced ashlar mews or billiard room at 2-4 Park Terrace East Lane.
