Description
2 Lancaster Crescent in Glasgow is a building designed by architect James Miller in 1898. It features polished ashlar and consists of two stories with attics, forming part of Lancaster Crescent. On the left side, steps lead down to a Doric porch that has a triglyph frieze, although the stone is badly eroded, and a mutule cornice.
The doorpiece is architraved and corniced, topped with a dwarf-gallery fanlight. Inside, the vestibule has a barrel vault made of stone, adorned with cartouche ornamentation. The entrance includes an oak panelled door with leaded glass panels. To the right, there are single-storey canted windows flanking a single architraved window. The first floor has six sash windows, each with 18-pane glazing. A continuous string course runs along the ground and first floor cills, with additional strings at the eaves and a plain cornice. The deep plain parapet is interrupted by a modern brick balustrade in front of four box dormers, which feature small pane glazing. The building has corniced axial stacks and slate roofs.
The rear is constructed of droved ashlar and includes a mullioned and transomed five-light bow window on the ground floor, with tripartite windows above. There is a solid ashlar parapet at the steps, complete with coping, and a low coped ashlar wall surrounding the garden.
