Description

The Walled Garden at Easter Skene House was built in 1832. It has a rectangular shape and does not feature any special architectural details, except for a datestone located at the greenhouse. At the center of the garden, there is a domed structure known as a tempietta. This circular tempietta is supported by six Roman-Doric columns, which have circular abaci and bases. The dome is pointed and topped with a saucer-shaped capping.
