Description
The Temple of Pomona at Cullen House is an A-listed building designed by William Robertson in 1822, possibly based on a design by James Playfair from 1788. This structure features a polished ashlar open rotunda situated on a hilltop, which is supported by a partially exposed circular basement tearoom. The rotunda is adorned with an entablature that is held up by eight Ionic columns. Above this, there is a leaded dome with a corniced plaster ceiling and a decorative central rose.
The tearoom has a bowed three-bay front, flanked by curved screen walls. It includes a central round-headed doorway and similar flanking windows. Inside, there is a gutted circular chamber that shows remnants of alternate apsed and rectangular niches, although the ceiling and the rotunda floor are no longer intact. In the center of the tearoom floor, there is a circular plinth that once supported a statue of Pomona, which has since been lost.
