Description
8 Prince's Terrace in Glasgow is a building designed by architect James Thomson around 1870. It is part of a larger terrace consisting of 12 four-bay houses, with numbers 6 and 7 featuring paired two-bay elevations. The terrace has a total of 44 bays arranged in a pattern of 20-4-20, and it stands two storeys high with attics and a basement. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar stone, which has been cleaned, with painted dressings and architraves.
The entrance features steps that extend over the basement, leading to doorways that are architraved, consoled, and corniced, with double-leaf doors. The vestibule includes tripartite doors with glazed side and fanlights. Full-height canted windows are positioned to the left for houses 1 to 6 and to the right for houses 7 to 12, complemented by a dwarf cast-iron parapet. All upper windows are architraved, with lugged first-floor plate glass sash windows.
Houses 6 and 7 are notable for their central paired two-bay design, featuring paired doors flanked by canted windows. A moulded band course runs along the ground and first-floor cills, with additional band and string courses at the eaves and a plain main cornice. Round-headed dormers are set within polished architraves, complete with keystones and ball finials, and there is a cast-iron balustrade connecting the dormers. The building has corniced axial stacks with octagonal cans and slate roofs.
Elegant cast-iron railings adorn the steps and basement, while houses 6 and 10 boast attractive leaded coloured glass in their doors and upper sashes. The three-bay flank of the terrace features simpler details, with paired corniced wall head stacks flanking the dormers.
The rear elevation is finished in stugged ashlar and includes two-storey canted windows with a cast-iron parapet. Gabled dormers with finials are also present. A low ashlar wall supports spearhead cast-iron railings that enclose the rear gardens and lane. At the front, there are pairs of tall corniced ashlar gatepiers at the carriageway, which support cast-iron lamp brackets.
