Description
Lodge, Seaforth Centre
This lodge is part of the Seaforth Sanatorium complex, designed by Robert Macbeth of Ross & Macbeth and built between 1906 and 1908 (with a datestone of 1907). The sanatorium itself was constructed on the butterfly plan, a design that maximised sunshine exposure for the treatment of tuberculosis patients from Ross and Cromarty. The complex was funded by Colonel Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth and his wife Mary Margaret through a generous endowment.
The lodge is a single-storey building with an attic, arranged symmetrically across three bays with a jerkin roof clad in slate. The main entrance features a two-leaf boarded door with roundels set within an open timber porch. The building is harled with ashlar margins, and contains end stacks and decorative ridging. Small-paned glazing predominates, with sashes at ground-floor level (tripartite arrangements) and casements in the piended dormer windows (bipartite arrangements).
The lodge, presumably part of the original architectural concept, employs the same Scottish 17th-century style detailing found throughout the sanatorium complex. The building has been little altered since its construction and retains its original character and materials.
