Description
The Pillars is an early 19th-century temple-like building that served as the original lodge for the now-demolished Watergate House, which was constructed by Sir John Soane, although it was rebuilt in 1882. The lodge may also have been designed by Soane. It has two storeys, featuring one window on the south side and two on the west. The building is faced with flints, and it has a cornice and window surrounds made of Roman cement, with the glazing bars remaining intact. The entrance front, which originally faced the drive, includes a portico supported by four Ionic columns of Roman cement, topped with a flint pediment.
