| Notes: | Alexander Dennistoun (after whom the area in which this villa is situated was named) bought large parts of this part of the East End of Glasgow around the 1850s and commissioned James Salmon in 1854 to create a plan for a villa suburb. Hence one possible attribution to Salmon. However similarities with details in John Gordon's Oakleigh Villa as advertised in Blackie's Villa and Cottage rchitecture suggest he may have been the architect. The use of slendor colonettes in the canted window and the portrait roundels in particular suggest his hand. (HS list) |
