INTERIOR, NO.31 CLEVEDEN ROAD: Glasgow Style refurbishment circa 1900, probably by George Walton. 1st floor study with plaster groin vault, padded leather walls with stylised timber framing; leaded glass fitted cabinets; fine chimneypiece redolent with 1st class Glasgow Style detailing, incised work and beaten copper panels. Fine chimneypiece to entrance hall; stylised panelling to stair well. Stained glass to stair and study.

INTERIOR, NO. 33 CLEVEDEN ROAD: Including large decorative stained glass window, possible by Stephen Adam. Detail panels to lower section with allegorical figures representing sculpture and music.

INTERIOR, NO.41 CLEVEDON ROAD: Refurbishment by William Leiper. Features of particular note include ornate timber panelling, marble chimneypiece with carved timber overmantel. Series of stained glass by David Gauld.

Statement of Interest

The terrace was formerly known as the Montgomerie Quadrant, Ian Paterson, GDC, has linked the redecoration to the occupant, Leonard Gow Jr of Allan C Gow and Co, shipping firm, for whose brother, John Barnett Gow, George Walton had worked at Ledcameroch, Bearsden, 1897. It thus seems highly probable that Walton was responsible for the work at 31 Cleveden Road which survives in almost pristine condition.

Information regarding the interior of 33 Cleveden Road added 2009.
