Camphill House in Queen's Park on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed in a Classical style, possibly by David Hamilton, it was built around 1798 for the cotton manufacturer Robert Thomson. Thomson owned the Adelphi Cotton Works in Hutchesontown which is thought to have been the first factory in Glasgow to manufacture cotton goods. Originally built as a country house, it has now been engulfed by the expanding city.
Laurieston House on Carlton Place in Glasgow. A sadly neglected Georgian gem in a primarily Victorian and Edwardian city, Laurieston house was designed by Peter Nicholson in 1802 as a showpiece for John Laurie's development of a high class residential area on the southern banks of the Clyde.
Laurie himself lived here at one time, along with his brother David. Internally, the plasterwork has to be seen to be believed and is thought to have been designed by Francisco Bernasconi who had been brought to Britain by George III to decorate Windsor Castle. It is one of the most ornate Georgian Townhouses left in Britian, and is something which should really be saved and restored for the city or the nation.
Greenbank House in Clarkston, near Glasgow. Possibly designed by Allan Dreghorn, this house was built in 1764 for Robert Allason. Allason had started his working life as a baker's apprentice in the Gorbals, but when on to become one of the Glasgow Virginia merchants who made fortunes from trading tobacco and slaves.
Allason used this money to buy Flenders Farm, which his grandfather had worked as a tenant farmer, and used the land, and his wealth, to build Greenbank House. Allason's time at Greenbank was brief as his business suffered greatly in the American War of Independence and he had to give the house up when he was made insolvent in 1784.
The Hexastyle Greek Temple-inspired facade to the former Royal Bank of Scotland building on Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow. Designed by Archibald Elliot, it was built in 1827.
Rather surprisingly, this one of the oldest building on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus in the West End of the City. Built in 1828, some forty years before the University moved to its currenty location, Florentine House was amongst the first villas to be built in the Hillhead area of Glasgow. It was purchased by the University in 1981 and is now home to its College of Social Sciences.
Georgian Townhouses on Newton Place in the West End of Glasgow. Built in 1837, they were designed by George Smith. The street was originally called Caledonia Place.
Many Glaswegians will be familiar with the Garage Nightclub on Sauchiehall Street, but how many know that part of it is housed in a Georgian villa?
Built in 1812 for a button manufacturer called James Deakin, it's one of a row of six such villas called Albany Place which have been swallowed up by the later commercial development of Sauchiehall Street.
Royal Crescent in Glasgow. Designed by Alexander Taylor and built in the 1830s and 40s, this is a beautiful curved classical Georgian terrace in the west end of the City
18 Blackfriars Street in Glasgow. A little bit off the beaten track, this is a great example of a Georgian Glasgow building. Constructed around 1790, it's thought to have been designed in a Neo-Classical style by Robert and John Adam.
78 Carlton Place on the south bank of the Clyde in Glasgow. Designed in a classical style by Peter Nicholson and built in the 1810s, it's the centre piece of an impressive block of Georgian townhouses. Lining what was then the upper harbour, these houses would have been occupied by the city's merchant class.
