The former Glasgow home of the doctor who was responsible for one of the most significant advances in modern medicine has been marketed for sale.
It was while Joseph Lister was living at No 17 Woodside Place, a grand townhouse in the city’s West End, that he published a series of papers on his revolutionary system for antiseptic surgery, the basis for modern infection control.
The front-facing living room enjoys many original architectural features including ceiling panels dating from the mid-19th century. Joseph Lister was born on April 5, 1827, at Upton House in Essex, the son of Joseph Jackson Lister FRS, wine merchant and microscopist, and Isabella Harris. In 1860, he moved to Glasgow, where he continued his epidemiological research, leading in 1867 to the publication of a series of papers on his system of antiseptic surgery.
When he later became an experienced surgeon, Lister would use his home laboratory to investigate the nature of infection, assisted by his wife.
