Scope and Content Entrance Hall, 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 hall is lined with 17th-century style wood (wainscot) panelling with Ionic pilasters flanking the fireplace, and a panel with elaborately carved moulding above. The fireplace itself has a marble inset and a wood surround with Classical dentil (small rectangular blocks) detailing along the cornice. Park Gardens was one of a ring of terraces designed by Wilson between 1855 and 1863 on the upper slopes of the hill overlooking the green valley of the River Kelvin below. The development is regarded as his finest achievement, and dominates Glasgow's skyline to the west. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
