Description
The Lodge on Leys Park Road is a single-storey, three-bay building designed in 1885 by Andrew Scobie. It was originally a probationary ward for a poorhouse and features a T-plan layout. The exterior is constructed from coursed stugged sandstone rubble, accented with droved and polished ashlar dressings, and includes a base course and an eaves band.
The south elevation, which is the principal facade, has a symmetrical arrangement. It features a central entrance with an architrave, a replacement metal-faced door, and a two-pane rectangular fanlight above. The outer bays are slightly projecting gabled sections, each adorned with a short broken section of the eaves band at the head of a moulded skewputt. Each bay also has a mullioned bipartite window with a bracketed canopy and apron.
On the east elevation, there is a blank bay that projects to the left, with the entrance and a window located on the right return. A short section of rubble wall with rounded coping adjoins the right side, enclosing a small walled yard, and there is a mullioned bipartite window set back in the rear wing behind the wall.
The building features two and four-pane timber sash and case windows and has a grey slate roof that is piended except for the principal elevation. There are three corniced ashlar stacks with friezes, with one stack being octagonal.
The interior was not inspected in 1999.
