Description
The building is a workshop with a flat above, located southeast of Ormathwaite Hall. It was originally constructed in the late 18th century for Dr. William Brownrigg, who used it as a laboratory for his chemical experiments. The structure has roughcast walls and is topped with a graduated hipped greenslate roof, featuring a roughcast chimney stack. It is two storeys high and consists of four bays, with single-storey, two-bay wings on either side. The entrance has a panelled door set in a stone architrave beneath a pediment. The windows are casement style with glazing bars in stone surrounds, and there is an octagonal window above the doorway with radial glazing bars. Dr. Brownrigg, who lived from 1711 to 1800, is known for his treatise on salt making, among other works.
