Scope and Content Thornly Park House, No 2 Thornly Park Avenue, Paisley, Renfrewshire, from the south-west Thornly Park House, a rectangular-plan house with late Arts & Crafts references, was designed by the architect, Thomas Graham Abercrombie, and built c.1892 for John Highgate. The architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere, was commissioned to photograph the house in 1893. This gabled, two-storeyed house, with transomed and mullioned windows, has a south-facing garden front (right) with a low-swept roof over a recessed timber-posted porch. The main entrance on the west front is through an irregular gabled bay (left) with a timber-posted porch below mock half-timbering. The house has several typical Arts & Crafts features: prominent chimneys and gables, steeply pitched, sweeping roofs, half-timbering and over-hung eaves. Its 'cottagey' style is very simple, with much attention paid to the materials used in the construction. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
