St Peter's Lodge was built for Doctor Smith, Inspector of Schools for Scotland, who named the house after his Cambridge College. The house was subsequently owned by the Bishop of Motherwell and the Holy Ghost Fathers. The construction of Douglas Gardens began in 1868 and was the first residential scheme in Uddingston, providing upmarket accommodation for Glasgow commuters. The layout is D-shaped and built around a central garden; St Peter's Lodge is centrally positioned, at the apex of the curve.
