Lodge To Allerton Tower, With Adjoining Gate Piers

The Lodge to Allerton Tower, built in 1847 by H.L. Elmes, is a single-storey structure with two bays, made of stucco and topped with a slate roof. It features a sill course with rustication above, a top cornice, and a blocking course. The round-headed windows are set in square-headed architraves and are sashed without glazing bars. The central entrance bay is concave, with an architrave, frieze, and cornice. A round porch supported by a distyle Doric colonnade and banded antae leads to the entrance, which has an architrave with a festoon frieze and a cupola above. The left side facing the street has windows adorned with keys and segmental pediments. The entrance gate piers display channelled rustication and cornices, with the centers projecting forward to create round-headed openings fitted with bars. The caps of the piers feature a bracketed frieze, and the left pier is topped with flanking ball finials.
