Description
Baillie Craig's House, located at 42 Miller Street in Glasgow, was built in 1775 by the wright John Craig and restored by McGurn, Logan, Duncan & Opfer from 1994 to 1995. This is a simplified Palladian-style, two-storey and attic, five-bay town house. The front is made of ashlar with a base course, rusticated quoins, and a modillion cornice, while the side elevation is constructed from rubble and the rear is harled. The three central bays are slightly advanced and feature a pediment with an oculus. Fluted Corinthian pilasters frame the pedimented doorpiece, which is accessed by a short flight of steps leading to panelled two-leaf doors set in cavetto reveals. All windows are within architraves, with the ground floor featuring a cornice. The timber sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern, and there are basement windows flanking the centre bay, protected by cage grills. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes cast-iron rooflights, while the gablehead stacks are made of corniced ashlar. Decorative urns adorn the pediment and quoins.
There is a passage to Virginia Court on the left, which is listed separately. At the rear, there is a projecting piend-roofed stairtower that is off-centre to the right.
