The Pavilion

The Pavilion is a park pavilion that has been converted into a café. It was likely built around 1880 and underwent alterations and refurbishment in 2010. The structure features yellow brick, some red brick, red and yellow terracotta tiles, a cast-iron porch, and slate roofs, showcasing an eclectic architectural style.

The Pavilion is two storeys tall with large one-storey wings and a prominent lantern at the center. The ground floor is made of yellow brick set on a red brick plinth, while the first floor is red brick with a string course and a parapet adorned with terracotta floral tiles and stone coping. The glazed lantern is supported by cast-iron columns. Each of the four cardinal sides has square-headed windows on the ground floor, with doorways located on the west and north sides, and round-headed windows on the first floor arranged in an arcade. The south-east side features a tall five-sided open porch supported by twisted cast-iron columns with decorative spandrels, leading to a square-headed doorway with a tympanum of terracotta tiles (the doors have been altered). The other three sides have five-sided wings with round-headed windows. The lantern, also supported by twisted cast-iron columns with crocket capitals, has six tall round-headed lights on each side and a distinctive two-stage roof with louvres and a weather vane finial.

Inside, the Pavilion has supporting cast-iron columns that are panelled on the ground floor and exposed on the first floor.

The Pavilion forms a group with the Bandstand to the west and the Powell monument to the south-east. The lantern, internal columns, and entrance canopy were made by Walter MacFarlane and Co of the Saracen Foundry in Glasgow.
