Description
10 Lowther Terrace in Glasgow is a building designed by architect James Miller in 1904, forming part of an irregular three-house terrace in the Scots Renaissance style. The structure features a four-bay, three-storey elevation topped with a Dutch Renaissance gable and attic. To the left, there is an additional two-storey, single-bay block.
The exterior is finished in polished ashlar stone, which has been cleaned, and includes roll-moulded architraves. The two-storey canted window occupies the two right bays and is accentuated by pilasters at the corners, topped with a deep plain parapet. On the left side, an advanced architraved doorway is present, with a cornice that supports a balcony featuring a delicate cast-iron balustrade that extends to the canted window. The entrance has double-leaf panelled doors leading into a barrel-vaulted vestibule. The left-centre bay on the ground floor includes a wide arched window. The second-floor windows are flanked by decorated Ionic pilasters, with the outermost pilasters supporting obelisk finials at the wallhead, while the innermost pilaster strip rises into the gable. The gable itself is elaborately scrolled and finialled, with two attic windows flanked by similar pilasters. Continuous cill strings run along the second floor and attic.
The two-storey extension on the left features an advanced full-height square bay, flanked by Ionic pilasters that have continuous cornices at the plinth and first floor. The flanking advanced bay includes roll-moulded panels with medallion portraits at the first floor, topped by a deep plain parapet.
On the west flank, the building has a polished ashlar finish and a two and three-storey, six-bay elevation that mirrors the main facade, highlighted by a large six-light canted window in the centre bays. There is a notable art-nouveau cast-iron balcony on the second floor, which is currently supported by iron struts.
The rear of the building is finished in stugged ashlar and includes extensive mews and service ranges. On the west side, there are fine art nouveau cast-iron railings, complemented by ashlar ball-finialled gatepiers and a decorative cast-iron gate.
