Description
The Tower at 18 and 20 Castlefield Court in Glasgow is likely a mid-19th century crow-stepped dummy tower house. It has two storeys with an attic and features a three-bay south front. To the right, there is a bolection-moulded doorway, and the windows are regularly positioned, featuring modern timber pivot windows that replicate the original glazing pattern of six-pane lower sashes and four-pane upper sashes, all with chamfers. The main corners of the building are rounded and corbelled to a square at the attic storey. Each long wall has a central crow-stepped wall-head dormer, with a coped end stack on the west side and a ball finial on the east. The structure is built from rubble with ashlar margins and has a slate roof.
At the rear, a two-storey, brick-built, rendered extension has been added to create one ground floor flat and one maisonette. This extension replaces a low rear wing and low ranges of outbuildings, some of which were crow-stepped, that were demolished during housing development.
