11 Lancaster Crescent, Glasgow

11 Lancaster Crescent in Glasgow is a building designed by architect James Boucher around 1871, with rear additions made by architect James Salmon around 1924. The structure has three storeys, attics, and a basement, featuring three bays of polished ashlar stone.

The main elevation is accessed by three steps leading down to a prominent porch. This porch is supported by paired Roman Doric fluted columns and features a full Doric entablature, with the sides originally glazed. There is a small circular roof light above. The entrance includes a tripartite doorpiece with acid-etched sidelights and a three-leaf panelled door. On either side of the porch, there are two-storey projecting windows; the ground floor windows are rectangular, while the first-floor windows are canted, with pilastered mullions and consoles supporting a cornice over the front light. Each floor has a moulded cill band and cornice, and the window above the porch is architraved, consoled, and corniced. The second-floor windows are set in lugged architraves, and all windows are sash with plate glass glazing. There is a continuous band course over the ground floor and the second floor, along with a dentil course and modillion cornice. The roof features three dormers and tall corniced axial stacks, all covered with slate.

The east flank of the building has three bays that are similarly detailed, although there are variations in the projecting bay details. The west flank is made of droved ashlar stone with a tall, slightly projecting stack rising from the ground. The windows here are mostly in lugged architraves and are mostly bracketed, though some glazing and windows have been altered, and external fire escapes are present.

The rear elevation is also made of droved ashlar, featuring a central arched stair light flanked by smaller square-headed lights. There is an extensive single-storey and basement droved ashlar wing added to the rear by James Salmon around 1924, which includes two canted bay windows on the east side, all fitted with small pane glazing. The basement area is enhanced by a good ashlar balustrade with die pedestals.
