Description
Promenade shelter, probably pre-1914, relocated between 1931 and 1938, by Walter MacFarlane and Co of the Saracen foundry, Glasgow.
MATERIALS: cast-iron columns, brackets, roof beams, and dado panels, with wooden screens, and tin-covered roof.
DESCRIPTION: of rectangular plan, with slim columns at the corners, linked by screens at each end, and with an axial screen aligned north-south. The round columns have plain capitals and each has two foliate brackets (only projecting outboard of the column) in open arabesque pattern, supporting the roof beams. The swept roof has a spine roll-ridge. Ogee gutters are mounted on plain fascias. The screens have a dado with a rectangular decorative panel, and (now unglazed) upper glazing panels, partially boarded with plywood.
The brackets match design type 39 on p644 of a MacFarlanes catalogue of approximately 1890.
