1 Moray Place

1 Moray Place, G41 2AQ
Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson’s 1-10 Moray Place has been described as ‘one of the world’s most superb pieces of design based on Greek precedent.’ Built in 1859-60, Thomson himself bought No 1 and brought up his family there. After subsequent changes and inevitable periods of neglect, it is now Category A listed. Andrew Greg and his wife Charlotte have been slowly repairing and restoring the house to bring back its Victorian character. Working with their neighbours they have reinstated decorative cast iron, repaired carved stonework and reinstated joinery and etched glass; internally they have uncovered original painted wall decoration and renewed plasterwork. Andrew’s presentation sets the house in context and illustrates the full story of the restoration progress.
