Blythswood House

Blythswood House was a neoclassical mansion at Renfrew, Scotland. It was designed in 1821, by the eminent architect James Gillespie Graham for Archibald Campbell, the Member of Parliament for the Glasgow District of Burghs. ["The old country houses of the old Glasgow gentry"]

The house remained the seat of the Lords Blythswood until its demolition in 1935. Five years later the family title became extinct. ["The Glasgow Story"]
