Tobacco Merchant's House, 42 Miller St. (1775)
Very Georgian
From Wikipedia:
"The Tobacco Merchant's House (also Baillie Craig's House) is an 18th-century villa at 42 Miller Street in Glasgow's Merchant City and the last surviving Virginia tobacco merchant's house in Glasgow. It was built by John Craig in 1775. The building was extensively renovated in 1994-5 and now serves as the offices of the Scottish Civic Trust.
The two-storey-and-attic, five-bay simplified Palladian town house was originally built by the Glasgow architect John Craig for himself. He purchased the land from Robert Hastie, an American merchant. Craig was the son of a timber merchant and listed himself as ' 'architect to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales'.[1] Craig sold the house to the tobacco importer Robert Findlay of Easterhill in 1782. At that time Miller Street was the location of the private homes of a number of prosperous Glasgow merchants."
