Description
The Ticket Office at Wellesley Recreation Ground was built in 1890 by J.W. Cockrill, the Borough Engineer. It is constructed of red brick with applied timber studs and rails that create rendered panels, topped with a machine tile roof. The building has a square plan with a canted west end and a square storeroom attached to the east.
The ticket office is a single storey. The east end features a central two-panelled door, flanked by one unhorned sash window on each side in the splay of the cant. The north side includes a ticket window that is closed by a sliding timber panel, while the east end has two unhorned sash windows. The storeroom has double timber doors on the north side.
Inside, the ticket office is wood-lined and includes a built-in two-panelled cupboard. This building forms a group with the Grandstand and Tennis Pavilion nearby.
