Description
The Grecian Temple is a garden temple built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of yellow brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped slate roof topped with a central leaded fiberglass dome, which is set behind a stone-coped parapet that includes three oblong blind panels. The temple is designed in the Ionic style and consists of one storey with a layout of one bay, three bays, and one bay.
The central portico is supported by four columns and is accessed by a flight of steps. It has outer pilasters that are topped with a full entablature, which includes an enriched frieze and a dentilled cornice. The windows are glazing bar sashes, with the two outer windows featuring pediments and being flanked by columns. Above each window and the central half-glazed door are blind panels. The two outer windows are oblong, the two inner windows are circular, and the central window is square. An enriched horizontal band separates the windows and door from the panels within the portico.
