Description
The Eastern Lodge to Alexandra Park was built around 1863 and features coursed and rusticated rubble in small blocks with ashlar dressings and a hipped Welsh slate roof. This one-and-a-half storey building has a two-unit plan and includes an entrance porch that projects to the north. Designed in the Italianate style, it has a round-arched doorway and paired round-arched windows in the porch, which is adorned with moulded console brackets above the string course and a moulded cornice at the parapet. There is a paired two-light sash window in the end wall of the lodge, with console brackets supporting the entablature above. Similar windows are found in the two-bay return elevation. The building is enhanced by rusticated ashlar quoins and a central pilaster between the two windows. The roof features semi-circular dormer windows and a moulded stone eaves cornice, along with an axial stack.
