Scope and Content Billiard Room, No 10 Lowther Terrace, Kelvinside, Glasgow No 10 Lowther Terrace was designed in c.1900 by the architect, James Miller, as a townhouse for Mr John Cargill. The billiard room, added as an extension in 1904, was photographed in 1906 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The room has oak-panelled walls, and banded plasterwork on the barrel-vaulted ceiling. The billiard cues are neatly stacked in the corner, and the six electric light fittings have counterbalanced weights so they can be raised or lowered over the table. As the billiard room was in the male domain of the house, it was positioned opening off the inner hall and 'not exactly amongst the Dwelling rooms'. Billiard rooms were sometimes built 'as an external appendage' as they were used for smoking. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
