Description
61 Dowanside Road in Glasgow is a two-storey and basement terrace house designed by architect David Barclay around 1900. The building features a polished red sandstone façade with a stugged basement.
At the left, steps lead down to the basement and up to a doorpiece that has pilastered reveals, a double leaf panelled door with a dentil course and a curvilinear timber lintel, along with a glazed fanlight above. To the left of the door is a single light sash window, and above it is a bipartite window. To the right, there is a two-storey canted window with four lights. The sash windows have plate glass, and the upper sashes display a small pane glazing pattern. There are continuous band courses above the ground floor and at the eaves, which are supported by overhanging eaves with timber brackets.
The building has axial stacks with octagonal flues, decorative skew-putts, and tile cresting. Number 67 features a canted bay on the ground floor with two small leaded windows on each floor. There are variations in detail on the flanks of Nos 57 (115 Dowanhill Street) and 67. The building also has a wallhead stack, an ashlar parapet above the steps that supports cast-iron railings, and an ashlar retaining or boundary wall in front of the gardens.
