Nursing Home, 11 Montgomery Terrace, Skelmorlie

This late 19th-century nursing home is a large, asymmetrical villa incorporating Scottish Baronial details. It was originally known as West Park and later became the Craig Memorial Home, having been altered for R Hunter Craig MP. The building was further modified in 1904 by Salmon Son & Gillespie, and again in 1906 by Fryers and Penman of Largs.

The villa is two storeys and an attic, and is built on a slope, with a basement raised at the west side. It is constructed of snecked and stugged red sandstone ashlar with polished dressings. The east-facing entrance elevation features an advanced wide gable to the left, with two windows on each level. A single window sits in the right-hand bay, above which is a crow-stepped dormer head. A central, octagonal porch has an open, timber arcaded passage and balustrades. A swept-roofed dormer has an iron-balustraded platform. To the right is a low, single-storey piended hall with some leaded lights, and an attic oriel in the gable above. A low, tile-hung wing, functioning as a service wing, extends to the left. This wing is raised to full height on the main west facade, incorporating an angle turret, corbelled above the basement, octagonal and tile-hung at the first floor, and finished with a conical roof. It is linked to the advanced gabled bay by a corbelled angle turret. A full-height canted window is in the gabled bay, while corbelled balconies are present on the eastern bays. An attic oriel is set within a raised gablet.

Inside, there is good plasterwork and panelling. A north-facing ground floor room is particularly noteworthy, featuring Corinthian pilasters, slender Corinthian columns flanking the door and chimney piece, a foliate patterned frieze and cornice, a shallow depressed arch with spandrels decorated with knights on horseback, and a ribbed ceiling.

Margined, square, red ashlar gatepiers have projecting caps, and decorative wrought-iron gates. A pediment on the west wall bears the initials "CPH, FSE." The building is shown on an 1895 Ordnance Survey map.
