Hugh Macintosh, The Origin and History of Glasgow Streets, 1902 on www.gdLcdlr.atrath.ac.uk (accessed 20-10-08). NOTES: Comprising distinctive cast iron columns and corner verandahs, this lodge now marks the entrance to Girgenti Farm (listed separately). It farms one of a pair of lodges which were built originally for the now-demolished Girgenti House. Map evidence suggests that the lodge was originally square-plan, with verandahs at each corner, each supported by a single cast iron column. The shallow roof is distinctive and the unusual design marks this lodge out as a building of special interest. The land here, together with an existing farm called Muirhead, was acquired in the late 1820s by an Army Captain, John Cheape. Cheape built a new house on the site and renamed the house and farm Girgenti after a town in Sicily of which he was particularly fond. The house was described in the New Statistical Account as being ''built in rather an uncommon style" and it was demolished in the 1940s. The lodges were probably built around the same time as the house. Cheape live in the house from 1829 until his death in 1850.
