Statement of Interest

Part of an A-Group with Dean Castle, Dean Castle Dower House and Dean Bridge. The lodge was designed by Ingram and Brown, a local architectural firm. Robert Ingram, known best for the Burns Monument in Kay Park, was formerly part of the practice J & RS Ingram, with his father who died in 1879. This lodge shares stylistic similarities with the former domestic work of Ingram's father James. It was built near the beginning of the 20th century during a period of repair and extension at the castle. The owner, Howard De Walden, aimed to restore and renovate the castle to a high standard and part of the improvements included a new lodge for the castle complex. Sited near the Dean Road, the lodge is the first building the visitor sees and is designed with historic styles in mind. Originally the building contained entrance hall, living room, dining room and kitchen to the ground floor and 2 bedrooms, a bathroom/wc and linen presses to the upper story. It is a good example of a purpose-built lodge that has remained relatively unaltered.
