Description
Rothesay Mansion is a house dating from 1841. It is part of a development undertaken for Joseph Pitt between 1825 and 1842. The house is constructed with stucco over brick, featuring a hipped slate roof, end and ridge stacks with cornices, and iron balconies.
The three-storey building, with a basement, has three windows on the first floor. Exterior detailing includes tall pilasters to the ends and between windows, recessed panels, banded rustication to the ground floor drawn into voussoirs over the windows, a first-floor band, tooled architraves, sills and cornices on brackets to the first-floor windows, and a cornice over the first floor acting as a sill band to the second floor. Wide eaves are supported by brackets. The windows are primarily 6/6 sashes, although those on the second floor are 3/6 sashes.
The central entrance has a flight of steps leading to a two-columnar fluted Ionic porch with two outer Doric pillars, a dentil frieze, and a dentil cornice. The entrance door is six-panelled with a segmental fanlight. A similar three-window facade is present on the left return, and a two-window return faces North Place, with iron balconies to the first floor.
The interior has not been inspected.
