Pergola With Pavilion At End, Dropmore

The pergola with pavilion at Dropmore is an early 19th-century structure, featuring later 19th-century wings. The centerpiece consists of a tall red brick wall adorned with wooden lattice work, flanked on both sides by a slate-roofed Doric portico supported by wooden columns, with an entablature and pediment. The right-hand portico includes a wrought-iron gate in its back wall. To the left and right of the centerpiece, slightly lower red brick buttressed walls are present, topped with a balustrade made of alternating oval and wavy tiles that support iron urns. Capital-less stone columns, which once carried wooden cross beams, are now missing on the left side. At the left end, there is a 19th-century garden pavilion featuring square piers with guilloche decoration, which support a parapet of oval tiles topped with four urns. A semicircular arched opening in the back wall of the pavilion also contains a wrought-iron gate.
