description
The villa was built around 1890. There are two identically constructed semi-detached houses. From 1897 the artist Hugh McCulloch lived in one of the halves. He named the house Hughenden . Around 1902 he made the numerous lead glass works in the style of the Glasgow School . Its design is attributed to E. A. Taylor or John Ednie . The glasses were made in McCulloch's McCulloch & Co company. In the second half of the 20th century, the villa housed the Scott House Old People's Home . A connection to 56 Langside Drive was established, which was removed in 2003. Since then, the villas have been used separately as residential buildings again.
The east-facing front of the two-story villa is six axes wide. The masonry consists of blocks of cream-colored sandstone , with details with red sandstone being set off in color. Segmental arches emerge on both halves . The round-arched entrance doors are located on flatter extensions that run along the façades on both sides. The windows are partly coupled to form twin or triple windows and equipped with stone window posts. The building closes with a slate hipped roof .
