Description

The Doric Pavilion, located in Queen Street Central Gardens, Edinburgh, was designed by Andrew Wilson in 1824 and has undergone later alterations. This single-storey, single-bay building is a classical implement store, styled in the form of a miniature temple, and is used as a tool shed. It is set into a bank and constructed from polished ashlar sandstone, featuring broached ashlar side elevations.

The west elevation is pedimented and adorned with acroteria at the apex and outer angles. It has fluted Doric columns and clasping pilasters on the left and right sides, with a central opening that was originally a door but is now an iron gate. Behind this gate is a rubble barrel vault that contains an ashlar plinth with a brass and wood plaque. The plaque reads, "In memory of Lord Dunpark, Chairman of Commissioners of these gardens for forty years (1951-1991)."
