A highly advanced house for its time, especially for the North of Scotland, Parklea was built during the early 1950s and was full of luxurious touches, including an automatic garage door opening system—Willie's chauffeur would drop off the Logans at the north-facing front door, then swing down the steep curved driveway, rolling over a thick rubber actuating strip that would then send an electrical signal to open the double garage doors. The house interior has a partition system so that the day room and the dining room could become one room, for entertaining large parties.
Parklea, a highly sophisticated residence for its time, especially in the North of Scotland, was built during the early 1950s with lavish amenities, including an advanced garage door opening mechanism—Willie's chauffeur would deposit the Logans at the north-facing front entrance, then glide down the steep curved driveway on a rubber strip, triggering the electrical signal to open the double garage doors. The interior design incorporated a partition system that enabled the day room and dining room to be combined into one space for large parties.
