Description

Pair of concrete open pavilions in Classical idiom set into the bank with flanking staircases descending from the promenade to the boating lake. 8 forward bays divided by single Tuscan columns with three columns at corners. Open side bays terminate with one and a half columns against rear wall. Architrave and cornice with no frieze. Flat roof forms a wide platform extending into the park from the promenade, bounded by concrete balustrading on three sides with thirteen vase-shaped balusters to each bay divided by cuboid posts. Three side bays at balustrade level. The East Pavilion has only twelve balusters in the rear most bays, while the West has a full complement of thirteen. Otherwise they are largely identical. Three flights of stairs from Promenade to a mid-level in front of the pavilions, then five shorter flights down to the Marine Lake, the additional flights being at the midpoint of the pavilions and without balustrades. Surviving balustrades to the three main flights consist of rough concrete blocks with smooth tops curving down between posts, which have pyramidal tops, five posts each side to the upper flights and three posts each side to the shorter lower ones.
