19 Kirklee Road, Glasgow

This is a terrace of houses designed by John A Campbell in 1900, built in a Scots Renaissance style. The terrace runs along Kirklee Road in Glasgow, with the ends of the terrace located at numbers 2 Redlands Road and 23 Kirklee Road, which faces Bellshaugh Road. The houses are constructed of bull-faced stonework with polished dressings and margins, although some of the stone has been cleaned.

Numbers 7 to 21 form a symmetrical grouping of three-bay houses, arranged in pairs. Each pair has full-height canted windows in the end bays, with parapets rising above the eaves. These bays are linked by a balustraded stone balcony at the first floor, supported by stone corbels. Stone corbels also support the solid parapet over the doorways. Steps lead to architraved doorways with recessed sides, a lintel supported above, and an astragalled fanlight. Panelled oak doors lead into the houses. The inner bays of these houses have round-arched windows with four lights. The first-floor windows are single-light and have plain margins. Dormers are visible at number 11. The windows are sash windows, with plate glass in the lower sashes and small-pane glazing in the upper. The building has a mutule cornice, plain skews, and tall corniced axial stacks.

Number 23 Kirklee Road has a main elevation facing Bellshaugh Road. It is two storeys and an attic in height, with an asymmetrical three-bay design. It features a canted window similar to those on the main terrace. Steps lead to a centrally placed architraved doorpiece supported by corbels with a depressed arch fanlight above. To the right, an arched window is detailed similarly. A corbelled tourelle rises from the first floor to an octagonal, bell-cast dome topped with a finial. Attic windows are roll-moulded and flanked by sculpted pilasters. A single-storey wing extends to the northwest.

The elevation of number 23 Kirklee Road facing Kirklee Road showcases a tall gable end with corbelled flue details and a tripartite window at the top. A two-storey canted window is also present.

Number 2 Redlands Road has a two-storey, asymmetrical attic, three-bay elevation featuring a bay window on the left, linked to it by a first-floor balcony, and a full-height turret feature on the right with a conical roof. The central architraved doorpiece is similarly detailed as the main elevation. The Kirklee Road elevation is gabled, with a chimney feature rising from brackets to a blind window at the apex. A canted two-storey bay window is positioned to the right, adjoining the main terrace. Small pane glazing is found throughout the house.

The rear elevations are constructed of irregular bull-faced ashlar with red sandstone wings behind each house. These rear wings are single-storey and have hipped roofs. Low bull-faced ashlar walls with polished coping stones and gatepiers enclose the gardens. Number 2 Redlands Road is distinguished by good art nouveau cast-iron railings and a gate.
