Description

The Boycott Pavilions are a pair of large rusticated stone structures located in Stowe, built around 1728 by architect James Gibbs. In 1754, the pavilions were altered by architect Giovanni Battista Borra, who replaced the original steep pyramid roofs with the current domes topped with cupolas. These buildings are now used as houses.
