Description
The lodge and gate piers at Hamilton Public Park, located at 79 Bothwell Road, were approved for plans on March 30, 1908. The lodge is a single-storey building in an L-plan shape, featuring an advanced gable on the right side with a stone-roofed canted three-light bay. There is a rectangular porch in the re-entrant angle, which has a corbelled crenellated angle turret and a balustraded parapet. To the left of the porch is a small window, and there is a similar bay at the southeast gable. At the rear, there is a small piended outshot with a window and bipartite design, with the upper panes astragalled. The roof is slated with a red tile crest, and the front gables are crowstepped, with a tall ashlar stack at the rear. A small stone-walled court is located to the northwest.
The gates consist of a low hemicycle made of stugged coursers, accompanied by tall square ashlar gatepiers that are panelled and topped with denticulated caps. The wrought-iron gates feature a mildly art-nouveau design.
