Appraisal
This building was formerly known as Tivoli Lodge and was associated with Tivoli House to the north-west, now demolished. The ornate canopy was added in the late-Victorian period when such ornate architectural features were in fashion. The castellated parapet and decorative garden folly are picturesque features which date from a time when this area of the city was much less developed and considered to be well outside the city boundaries.
