Lodge, Levengrove Park, Dumbarton

The lodge at Levengrove Park in Dumbarton was built between 1884 and 1885, shortly before the park opened on May 26, 1885. This picturesque lodge is designed in an L-shape and features a single storey with an attic. It is constructed of stugged ashlar with polished dressings. The entrance is located in the re-entrant angle and is highlighted by an ogee arcaded verandah beneath a swept roof. The gable ends boast projecting ground floor windows that include applied timber framing and decorative plaster panels on the jettied attic. A substantial corniced stack is positioned over the east gable. The lodge has projecting eaves and a red tile roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles. There are three square gatepiers, originally four, which have shaped caps and ball finials, along with cast-iron gates.
