About Dowanhill
Dowanhill is an area of Glasgow, Scotland, contiguous with Partick, occupying the area west of Hillhead, south of Kelvinside and east of Hyndland. The area generally contains a mixture of terraced townhouses with private communal gardens, detached villas with private grounds and a number of four-storey tenement buildings. Jefferson Davis, the only President of the Confederate States of America, stayed in the area in 1869 while visiting the Glasgow merchant James Smith.
