Description

Victoria Spa Lodge and Bruce Lodge are a spa hotel, built in 1837 and now used as a house. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and has a tile roof. It features brick stacks, with cross-axial and end stacks that have fluted shafts. The hotel is two storeys with an attic, comprising a four-bay range with bays articulated by chamfered pilaster strips. Tudor arches are present to the gables of the first, third, and fourth bays, with the fourth bay likely added later. A first-floor sill course runs across the façade, and wide verges and moulded bargeboards adorn the gables. The entrances to the second bay feature overlights, sidelights, and half-glazed doors with decorative glazing. Ground-floor windows include end bay windows with hipped roofs, transomed casements, and sidelights; a four-light transomed window to the third bay; and first-floor casements, with an elliptical head to the fourth bay's window and three single lights to the second bay. A gabled dormer sits above the second bay. The gables themselves have elliptical-headed windows with two-light casements. Decorative glazing is present in all windows. The left return exhibits a two-gabled bay projecting to the left of the bay with a gablet to the stack. The first bay is later, with elliptical-headed windows and a fielded panel displaying the Royal Arms to the gable. The second bay has a four-light transomed casement to the ground floor and a three-light casement and elliptical-headed attic window, with a fielded panel displaying the Royal Arms to the end gablet. The rear of the building includes a gabled bay with three stepped lights, flanked by parallel ranges and an end gabled wing featuring simpler details, including casements with margin lights to the left end. Various stacks have fluted shafts. The decorative features are similar to those of houses on Warwick Road and Old Town. The interior was not inspected. The building initially served an abortive Royal Victorian Spa and is believed to be the first building named after Queen Victoria.
