Description
The Bowling Pavilion in Duthie Park, Aberdeen, is an early 20th-century single-storey building with a rectangular plan, originally used as a bowling pavilion within a 19th-century public park. The exterior features horizontally boarded timber that is painted, with a base course and corbelled cills, as well as overhanging eaves. A full-width piend-roofed canopy on the southwest elevation is supported by segmental arches and timber columns that have distinctive capitals.
On the southwest (principal) elevation, there are three regularly spaced entrance doors made of timber, with the upper parts being half-glazed and timber-panelled. Each door is flanked on the right by a bipartite window with timber shutters, and to the left, there is a two-leaf shuttered opening with a small opening to the outer left.
Both the northeast and southwest elevations feature gables adorned with decorative pierced timber bargeboarding, including a central round arch with radiating struts.
Inside, as seen in 2012, the principal room has timber boarding on the walls and ceiling, along with a moulded cornice. The building also has timber casement windows, a grey slate pitched roof with decorative terracotta ridge and end finials, and cast-iron rainwater goods.
