It must have been sub-divided, in 1915 VRs there are 6 tenants listed

I have only my Dad's birth certificate and a picture that he had taken outside the building a number of years ago. I was under the impression that the Martin family occupied all of 24 St. Vincent Crescent, but it must have been divided into flats even in 1918. Unfortunately, as you would expect, none of the family who occupied the residence at that time are still alive to clarify the situation....

The Glasgow Herald has 'adverts', for example 29 August 1900, for:

Large bedroom. Suit two... 10s weekly.  24 St Vincent Crescent, two up.

which seems to confirm that even before 1918, number 24 was sub divided.
