Description
The Pagoda, located in the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, was built between 1761 and 1762 by Sir William Chambers. This Grade I listed structure is made of grey stock brick and stands ten storeys high, reaching a height of 163 feet. It has an octagonal shape, with each of the upper storeys featuring arcades and balconies adorned with "Chippendale" style railings, painted in Chinese red on the balcony projections. The roofed coving above each storey is also painted red. The ground storey is supported by a ring of timber posts that hold up a slated roof. Originally, the Pagoda's roof was covered with glazed tiles, but it has since been replaced with lead. The roof was originally decorated with enamelled dragons.
