Description
The Jungle's folly facade, built around 1820 for Samuel Russell Collett, presents as a mock castle. The facade, constructed of overburnt brick rubble with timber and stone dressings, forms the west front of the building and faces north-south. The building behind the facade is not part of this listing. The two-story facade is roughly crenelated with square and half-round turrets at each end. The south turret is square and features arrow slits, while the north turret has pointed arch windows with sash glazing bars. A bowed porch sits centrally, featuring a low, teardrop-shaped door. A doorway is set within a pointed stone arch to the left of the porch. Window and door frames between the turrets are built from oak branches, creating rough Gothic ogee arches incorporating crazed leaded lights with Y-shaped glazing bars. The branches framing the window above the porch converge at the sill, forming an oval shape.
