Scope and Content No 2 Lancaster Crescent, Kelvinside, Glasgow No 2 Lancaster Crescent, designed by the Glasgow architect, James Miller in 1898, was one of the first houses in this small terrace to be completed. The house was photographed in 1901 by the distinguished architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. This two-storeyed terraced house has steps leading over the basement to an impressive Doric porch with a colonnaded fanlight above the door. The function of the stone mounting-block at the kerbside was to assist ladies entering or leaving a carriage. Lancaster Crescent was built on part of the Redlands estate. Its nine fairly small houses, linked in a terrace, were designed by different architects including Henry Higgins (No 1), James Linburn Cowan (Nos 3-7) and John McKellar (Nos 8 and 9).
