Description
The Gazebo at Dunglass House, dated around 1712, is a heptagonal classical summer house of outstanding quality. It is situated on high ground to the west of the former house and southwest of the lake. The structure is built from ashlar and features a base course, rusticated walls, and an ornate entablature. Each face of the gazebo has a depressed arch doorway surrounded by a cavetto and an ornamented keystone, with fluted pilasters on either side. The triglyphs and metopes are carved with a variety of classical motifs, including fleur-de-lys, winged cherubs, and floral details.
The doors and fanlights have a small-pane glazing pattern, and the ogee roof is finished with lead flashings and topped with a large lead ball finial. Inside, the gazebo features geometric stone flagging on the floor and a plastered dome with a ventilator.
