Walmer Crescent, Category A listed building in Cessnock, Scotland
Walmer Crescent presents a curved row of residential buildings with three floors above a raised basement, featuring twinned square bay windows and balconies.
Alexander Thomson designed this residential complex in 1862, incorporating Greek Revival architecture principles into the seven individual buildings of the crescent.
The Alexander Thomson Society maintains its headquarters at number 7, promoting the preservation and study of the architect's contributions to Glasgow's heritage.
The Cessnock station of Glasgow Subway operates beneath the tenement, providing direct transportation connections for residents and visitors since 1896.
The terminal pavilion displays an angular design on the western end, while a curved mock-turret stands between sections of the residential complex.
