Description
This mid-19th century coach house originally served Wray Park Hall. It is a two-story building, composed of three wide bays, with the outer bays projecting and finished with pediment-shaped gable ends. Wide segmental stone arches sit beneath these gables, supported by angle pilasters. The front is stuccoed, with some weatherboarding located below the arches. The central section features a round-headed opening set within a round arched recess. This recess is flanked by narrow bays; the right bay is beneath a gable, and the left bay forms the lower part of a square clock tower. The clock tower is topped with a pyramidal roof, bracketed soffit, and a weather vane. Nos. 51, 53, 55, and 59, along with the entrance gateway to the south of No. 59, form a group.
