It is irregular in plan with brick walls and a central hipped roof with projecting flat-roofed wings. A tall brick chimney projects from the hipped roof mass behind a wood-frame cupola. The primary elevation faces northwest (toward the approach from the park) and contains a projecting bay with a stone portico with three rounded arch openings. Above the arches, carved stone panels depict stylized water animal scenes. Inside the portico are multi-pane French doors. The majority of other windows have been boarded shut, but the window openings remain with the original stone sills. Individual doors are located in the southwest and northeast sides of the building. |
