Scope and Content Second-Floor Landing, No 1 Park Gardens, Glasgow No 1 Park Gardens, one of six houses in a short Italianate terrace designed c.1855 by the architect, Charles Wilson, on the slopes of Woodlands Hill, was redecorated c.1900 as a townhouse for Lord Inverclyde. The photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere, was commissioned to photograph the interior in 1909. The upper landing has a plasterwork ceiling, a dentilled and modillioned cornice, and walls lined with plaster panels above a wood-panelled dado. The doors to the bedrooms, simpler that those on the floors below, have elegant cornices. This tall, three-storeyed townhouse had its principal reception rooms on the first floor, with the bedrooms and bathrooms on the floor above. Most of the elaborate decoration of the house was concentrated on the first two floors, with the upper floor, being restricted to family use, much plainer by comparison.
