23 Havelock Street

23 Havelock Street is a former gate lodge designed by probably John Thomas Rochead in the later 19th century. This single-storey and attic building is in an L-plan shape and features a Baronial style with crowstepped gables, a steeply pitched roof, and a corner stair tower topped with a conical roof and finial. The exterior is constructed from lightly stugged yellow sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, including a base course and eaves cornice, and has chamfered margins.

The principal elevation facing Havelock Street has two bays. To the right, there is a timber-boarded door set in a shouldered, double-chamfered margin, while to the left, a tripartite bow window with a shallow conical roof is present. Above, there is an arrow slit window in the gable. The west elevation has three arrow slit windows and features twinned, diagonally-aligned gablehead stacks, along with a single-storey, crenellated wing on the outer right. Both the south and west elevations are gabled, with the stair tower located at the southwest corner.

The building has non-traditional uPVC glazing and a graded grey slate roof with a metal ridge. Scrolled skewputts and decorative ashlar gablehead stacks add to its architectural detail.
