Sheffield City Council Sport And Development Section District Office

The Sheffield City Council Sport and Development Section District Office, formerly known as the combined lodge and pavilion to Firth Park, is a lodge and pavilion that now serves as offices. It was built in the mid-19th century and features squared dressed stone with ashlar dressings and gabled and hipped slate roofs, along with three side wall and a single ridge stone stacks. The building is designed in an L-plan and includes a plinth and a string course on the lodge.

The lodge is two storeys tall and has a three-window range, with a projecting center that features a round-headed plain sash window with a bracketed sill beneath a pedimented gable. On either side of this central feature are single plain sash windows. The central round-headed doorway is adorned with a keystone and has a moulded six-panel door with an overlight, flanked by paired round-headed sash windows with shafts.

The four-stage square tower is notable for its string courses, bracketed eaves, and pyramidal roof. The first stage includes slit vents, while the second stage features a round-headed sash window on three sides. The third stage has a clock set within a keystoned architrave, and the pilastered fourth stage has openings on each side with a central pier and metal grille.

To the left of the lodge is an open-fronted pavilion that has a plinth with iron railings and wooden posts supported by cast-iron brackets. Under the canopy of the pavilion, there are three glazing bar windows and two double doors with overlights, all featuring round heads. The cross-wing to the left includes two round-headed sashes in the gables and three similar margin light sashes in the left return. The interior has not been inspected.
