Description

The temple, located approximately 150 meters south-west of the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum, is a garden ornament built around 1860. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar with a rockfaced sandstone rear wall and features a stone flag roof. The design includes a Roman Doric prostyle tetrastyle with columns paired at the ends, and the order is topped by a dentilled pediment. The two-bay returns have pilasters and a continuous entablature. Inside, there is a plain brick wall with dado moulding and a patterned encaustic tiled floor, although the ceiling is now missing.
