37-39 Ashton Lane, Glasgow

Probably late 19th century, and built as mews, with

cottages, stables and lofts. 2-storey row (curved at

south end), loft windows all with gabled heads; an

unusual feature is the staircase treatment, recessed in

open areas below main roof which continues over

(basically forestairs, but leaving the narrow lane free of

obstruction). Built in 2 main stages (evident on rear

wall - the northern part probably the addition), and to

front, some modern rebuilding at north end, but

reproducing original proportions. Polychrome brick at

south end and original slate roof, painted otherwise, with

modern concrete roof tiles; single first floor windows,

mostly sashes; at southern tip, a large ground floor

opening, loft door above with hoist.
