Provan Hall
Provan Hall is a mansion in the Scottish city of Glasgow . In 1970 the building was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
history
Provan Hall dates from the late 15th or early 16th century. The prebender of Balernock (see also Provand's Lordship ) once used the building. The Hamilton clan acquired the land in 1593. In 1667 the City of Glasgow took over the manor house and had it renovated the following year. The property was parceled out in 1729 and Provan Hall sold to John Buchanan in 1767 . His descendants held Provan Hall until his transfer to the National Trust for Scotland in 1938. Restorations were made in 1980 and 2005.
description
Provan Hall is located in Auchinlea Park in the northeastern Glasgow district of Easterhouse . The mansion consists of two separate buildings that are connected to one another by a blind wall. The relatively simple buildings show various details of Renaissance architecture . The northern building is designed with dormer windows. A round tower with a conical roof rises from the northeast edge .
The facades of the two-story southern building are plastered with Harl . It is three axes wide and looks much younger than the northern one. However, this could also be a false assumption due to the plaster. The curtain wall is designed with a round arched Renaissance portal. A plaque shows the year of construction 1647 and shows the coat of arms of the Hamilton clan. The wall may have been rebuilt.
