Dog Kennels In The Grounds Of The Chalet

The Dog Kennels, located in the grounds of The Chalet, were built in the late 19th century for Alfred de Rothschild of Halton House. The structure features a cast iron frame with columns that have acanthus leaf capitals and an open work scrolled ventilation frieze at the eaves. The walls are weatherboarded and sit on a brick plinth, with brick gable end walls and a corrugated iron roof. It is a single-storey building with four windows that include glazing bars and a two-section stable type door. Guests were transported from Halton House on a pony carriage to enjoy the expansive view from The Chalet and were entertained nearby at a skittle alley.
