Description
The garden building at The Cedars, located 15 meters southeast of the house, was constructed around 1847 for Thomas Greg as a pumping house and screen wall for Coles Park, which has since been demolished. The structure features a grey brick and stucco screen wall, with a red brick and old red tile building on the south side. It has a high castellated screen adorned with giant octagonal pepper-pot turrets at both the north and south ends, topped with stucco coping and ogee caps with ball finials. The single-storey building on the east side is elaborate, showcasing three parallel gabled roofs. The end bays have twin round arches with recessed panels and lunette windows that include radial glazing bars. The central round-arched doorway is fitted with plank double doors and flanked by narrow windows. A heavy red brick dentilled cornice and pediments are present in each gable. The building houses pumps and tanks, while a 20th-century extension on the north side of the screen wall is not of special interest.
