1000 Great Western Road, Glasgow

This building, located at 1000 Great Western Road in Glasgow, is a two-storey and attic Renaissance villa constructed around 1887. It features a polished ashlar exterior and has a three-bay facade facing Great Western Road. The central bay is highlighted by giant pilasters that support a heavy, bracketed main cornice, which is topped with a tower feature. Access to the entrance is via steps leading to a Corinthian porch adorned with a mutule cornice and a plain parapet. The entrance includes a tripartite doorpiece with glazed sidelights. All windows have roll-moulded reveals, and above the door, there is a bipartite window with pilastered jambs and mullions.

Flanking the porch are full-height canted windows, which are corniced at the ground level and feature pilaster mullions on the first floor. The villa has sash windows with plate glass glazing. Continuous strings run along the cills and above the first-floor lintels. The main cornice is advanced and bracketed over the central bays, with a die and balustrade parapet. Above the central bay, a square tower with channelled quoins is present, featuring a canted oriel window with a bracketed cornice. The heavy consoled main cornice is complemented by a balustraded parapet with pedestals at the corners that support urns.

On the west flank, there are three bays, all with architraved windows, and a two-storey canted window in the center. To the right, there is a later single-storey flat-roofed porch. The east flank has a corniced tripartite square projecting window at the ground level, which is partially obscured by a later single-storey five-bay wing.

To the northeast, there is a symmetrical single-storey three-bay garage wing with a depressed-arch vehicle entrance flanked by depressed-arch sash windows. This wing features a plain main cornice, a blocking course, and tall corniced axial stacks. Both flanks have a balustraded parapet and tall wallhead stacks connected by an archway over a dormer window.

The rear elevation is constructed of coursed ashlar and includes a two-storey domestic wing with architraved windows and tall wallhead stacks.

Inside, the villa boasts a good hall with marble Corinthian screens and a figurative stained glass stair-light. The attic features a large billiard room and an adjoining smoking room located in the top storey of the tower.

In the garden, there is a low ashlar wall with coping and square corniced ashlar gatepiers.
