Kerelaw House, Historic mansion in Stevenston, Scotland
The neo-Palladian structure stood as a three-story ashlar building with five bays and featured a projecting central section with Doric entrance porch.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Hamilton constructed Kerelaw House in 1787 near the ruins of Kerelaw Castle, which dated back to the 12th century.
The estate represented the architectural transition from medieval fortifications to refined country houses that occurred throughout Scotland during the Georgian period.
Glasgow Corporation Education Department transformed the property into Kerelaw Residential School in 1970 before its eventual demolition.
The mansion included a Serlian window within a recessed blind arch, demonstrating the architectural influence of Robert Adam's designs in Scottish country houses.
