Photo Title: East Facade of Blair Gowie

Description:
East facade and rock garden at Blair Gowie, 2031 Runnymede Avenue.  Home of Harry and Jenny Butchart Ross. Note:There is a question as to the correct spelling of the house name - written "Blair Gowie" on plans submitted by Samuel Maclure. Was it a spelling error and meant to be named after the Scottish town of Blair Gowrie?
