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.[1] On his death in 1838 it passed to his second cousin Archibald Douglas of Mains, who adopted the name of Campbell.
The house contained a well-known laboratory that was used from 1892 to 1905 to experiment into many areas at the borders of physics, including the use of cathode rays, X-rays, spectroscopy and radioactivity.[2]
The house remained the seat of the Lords Blythswood until its demolition in 1935. Five years later the family title became extinct.[3]
