Description

The band stand, located in Victoria Park, was built in 1896. It features a stone base and a cast iron structure with an octagonal plan. The entrance is flanked by two low stone pillars that support five stone steps leading up to the platform. The pillars are adorned with voluted capitals. There is a shallow frieze with a dentillated, moulded cornice. The band stand is topped with a large, semi-circular dome covered in lead, which has a smaller dome and finial above it. The design reflects Art Nouveau style, complete with railings and a gate, and the rear side is glazed.
