Kirkstyle Cottages, Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland
This evening, I am focusing on an unusual example of Scottish domestic architecture as manifested in the Kirkstyle Cottages, Coatbridge, Scotland. The quasi-Tudor style would, perhaps, be more fitting in an English village and appears somewhat incongruous in the former industrial setting of Coatbridge. Key facts and information:
- Designed by local architect Thomas Smith (1862-1941) for the Rev. Sholto Douglas, probably as homes for estate employees.
- Built 1904 with additions in 1913.
- Comprise two pairs of single storey and attic, Tudor-style symmetrical, semi-detached cottages.
- Half timbered and harled with slate roofs.
- Multi-pane timber casement windows.
- Each pair of cottages comprises a central block with two oriels at ground floor, flanked by single windows.
- Category B listed heritage buildings since 1993.
