Former Lodge, Gate Piers And Boundary Wall To Etruria House Hotel

The former lodge, gate piers, and boundary wall to Etruria House Hotel, located at 77 Crookes Road in Sheffield, was built in 1876 for John Armitage, a manufacturer of decorative fireclay products. The lodge is constructed of yellow brick with moulded fireclay dressings and features a steep pitched slate roof. It is a single-storey building with attics and has a two-window range. On the drive side, there is a door with an overlight to the left and a plain sash window to the right, both with segmental heads. The left return of the lodge has a blocked door flanked by single windows, with the left window being segment-headed, all featuring enriched surrounds. Above, each return has an enriched brick dormer with a segmental pediment and a ball finial. The adjoining brick boundary wall is topped with pierced quatrefoil fireclay coping and includes round fireclay gate piers and wrought-iron gates. The interior has not been inspected.
