Description
8 Lowther Terrace in Glasgow is a building designed by architect James Miller around 1904. It is part of an irregular three-house terrace in the Scots Renaissance style. The building features three bays, three storeys, and attics, constructed from polished ashlar that has been stone cleaned.
At the corners of the first and second floors, there are giant Ionic pilasters. The central section has a full-height canted bay that is topped with a cast-iron balustrade and a gable above. Roman Doric columns, raised on plinths, create a portico or veranda that supports a wrought-iron balustraded balcony on the first floor, flanking the canted window. To the left at ground level, there is a tripartite vestibule door with an arched glazed fanlight.
All windows are framed in wide architraves, which step up and down at the corners, and feature mullions and transoms. The first and second floors of the bay window also have Ionic pilasters and mullions. The building has sash windows with small-pane glazing and a continuous mutule cornice. Above the bay window, there is a gable adorned with scrolls and depressed-arch architraved attic windows, flanked by box dormers. The building is topped with tall coped stacks that have rounded angles. The eastern flank is rendered, while the rear is made of coursed stugged ashlar.
