Description

Caretaker's Lodge, built between 1910 and 1912 by Alfred Burr, is designed in an early 18th-century style. The building is constructed of brown brick with red brick detailing and features a steep slate roof. It has two storeys.

On the north elevation, there are paired entrances on the ground floor, with paired windows above that have gauged flat window heads. These windows break through the eaves into the roof and are topped with a segmental pediment. A red brick dentilled cornice and red brick quoins are present on the second storey, which sits above a red brick band. The east elevation includes a pair of oeil-de-bouef windows on the ground floor and single windows on the first floor that also break through the eaves, each topped with a segmental pediment. The south elevation features paired windows at the first floor level that break through the roofline.

Historically, the lodge was built for the curator of Johnson's house at No. 17 Gough Square, which was acquired by Lord Harmsworth in 1911 and refurbished by Alfred Burr.
