Description
Western Lodge to Alexandra Park was built in 1863. It features rusticated coursed and squared rubble with rusticated ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof, designed in a Neo-classical style. The building is single storey and includes an Italianate tower over the entrance to the right, which has a hipped leaded roof and paired round-arched windows beneath modillion eaves. The corners of the building are accentuated with angle quoins. The ground floor has a door with an overlight set in a plain architrave. To the left, there is a canted bay window with a leaded roof and a semi-circular dormer window above it. At the rear of the tower, there is a hipped roof wing that features a sash window with entablatures and a dormer in the roof. The elevation facing Queen's Road includes two 2-pane sash windows with entablatures supported by consoles, along with semi-circular dormer windows above. The building is further decorated with pilasters at the center and at the corners, and it has a modillion eaves cornice.
