description
The building forms the end of Cadzow Street in front of Cadzow Bridge. It lies above the flat valley of the Cadzow Burn , which spans the bridge. In terms of style, Art Nouveau motifs based on the Viennese and Parisian models characterize the residential and commercial buildings. It was built in 1903 for Henry Keith , the Provost of Hamilton, making it one of the early modern buildings in Scotland. The construction took place in connection with the revision of the Cadzow Bridge.
The building made of red stone blocks has a roughly square floor plan. Due to its location on the slope, only two floors are visible on the street side. However, since the building is based in the valley, there are four flatter floors below it. The masonry is embossed below the bridge . On the street side, the ground floor is designed with three arched openings with keystones , two shop windows and a gateway. A finely crafted gate closes the driveway. In between there are entrance doors with flat segmental arches . Below the five elongated windows on the upper floor there is a small balcony, which ends with an iron parapet, the design of which is reminiscent of the later Art Deco .
On the valley side, the upper storeys are designed with round arches and elongated lattice windows similar to the street side . In the middle, a component emerges elliptically , which is continued down to the bottom. It closes with a balcony a little below the bridge level, which is accessible from the bridge via a staircase along the facade. The floors below are designed much more simply. The building closes with a slate-covered platform roof with brick chimneys .
