1 Lancaster Crescent, Glasgow

1 Lancaster Crescent in Glasgow is a house designed by architect Henry Higgins in 1898. This polished ashlar, three-bay house features banded pilasters at the corners and is set at an angle to the rest of the crescent. It is two storeys high with attics.

The entrance is centrally located and includes a doorpiece with terminal pilasters that support a corniced lintel. Above the door is a hood-moulded semi-circular glazed fanlight, which has three balusters separating the lights. The house has double leaf panelled storm doors and a vestibule with a tripartite design, topped by a glazed arched fanlight. On the ground floor, there are corniced canted windows with a plain parapet. The first floor features five single light windows, each with moulded architraves. The sash windows have plate glass glazing. Continuous band courses run along the ground and first floor cills and above the ground floor. There is also a band course at the eaves, leading to a modillion cornice. A deep plain parapet connects three aedicular dormers with arched lights, and there are tall conical axial stacks.

The west flank of the house has a canted window on the ground floor and a tripartite window to the left, with similar detailing as described above.

The rear of the house is finished in droved ashlar and features one and two-storey extensions. The front garden is enclosed by good decorative cast-iron railings and a gate. A tall ashlar boundary wall runs along the west flank, topped with square corniced ashlar gatepiers. At the carriageway, there is a pair of tall square corniced ashlar gatepiers that lead from Cleveden Road.
