11 Crown Terrace, Glasgow

4 Crown Terrace in Glasgow is a symmetrical terrace of four bay houses designed by architect James Thomson around 1873. The terrace features 36 bays arranged in a 12-12-12 configuration, with two storeys, attics, and a basement, highlighted by a three-storey central pavilion. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar, with most of the stone cleaned.

The entrance is marked by steps that oversail the basement, leading to a tripartite architraved doorway flanked by panelled pilasters that support a cornice and parapet. To the left, there is a canted bay window that rises from the basement through two storeys, adorned with decorative pilaster capitals at the first floor. To the right, there are two architraved single-light windows. The first-floor windows are also architraved and feature a consoled cornice.

The three-storey pavilion mirrors the main design, with the second-floor windows being tripartite over the bay, while the other windows are single-light, all lugged and architraved. The terrace includes sash windows with plate glass glazing, a continuous band course over the ground and first floor cills, and a mutule main cornice. The pavilion has strings at the second-floor cills and a consoled main cornice. The entire terrace is topped with a deep plain parapet that connects pilastered aedicular dormers with ball finials. Each bay window is complemented by tripartite dormers featuring a round-headed centre sash flanked by narrow lights, while other dormers have triangular pediments. The roofs are slate with axial stacks, mostly featuring octagonal flues, and there are cast-iron railings leading to the steps and basement.

The flank facing Sydenham Lane consists of five bays, also in polished ashlar and similarly detailed, with tall corniced wallhead stacks. The rear elevation is constructed of stugged ashlar, with gardens enclosed by a low ashlar wall that supports spearhead railings.
