Description
West Lodge at Queen's Park is a lodge built in 1887-1888 by John Brooke. It features red sandstone and external plasterwork with planted timbers, topped by a red tile gabled roof. The building is two stories high and has three bays. The first floor has a rock-faced finish with flush quoins and stone dressing. A single-storey hipped porch, supported by turned posts, extends from a low sandstone wall. The ground floor has timber casements with leaded lights set in stone mullion and transom windows. An inscribed bressumer at the first floor commemorates the opening of Victoria Avenue by Commander-in-Chief, H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge. The first floor also showcases planted timbers arranged in close studding with a middle rail, along with wood casements. The building displays exposed rafter feet and gable barge boards, and there is a decorative panel in the apex of the north gable. A copper-covered bell cupola sits atop the roof, and linked octagonal stone flues rise from a weathered stone stack.
