Walmer Crescent
Walmer Crescent is a gently curving terrace of spacious tenement flats and houses in the Cessnock district of Glasgow, designed by Alexander “Greek” Thomson and constructed between 1857 and 1862. The seamless red sandstone façade shelters seven individual buildings over a raised basement, each accessed by three doorways leading to flats or closes. This crescent diverges from the typical tenement street pattern, creating a distinctive boulevard along Paisley Road West. The entire block is protected as a Category A listed building, and the surrounding area was designated the Walmer Crescent Conservation Area on 16 July 1975
