Scope and Content Dining Room, No 2 Lancaster Crescent, Kelvinside, Glasgow No 2 Lancaster Crescent, one of nine fairly small houses linked in a terrace, was designed in 1898 by the Glasgow architect, James Miller. The interior of the house was photographed in 1901 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The dining room has a barrel-vaulted ceiling and an unusual chimneypiece with an inset for a carriage clock. The walls are oak-panelled to door height, and the elaborate bas relief frieze is decorated with dancing cherubs and Art Nouveau flowers. The room is much in the style of the turn of the 20th century when it was generally felt that a dining room was a 'heavy' room where sombre tones were appropriate. Dining rooms were often oak panelled and hung with oil paintings and portraits. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
