Abstract: |
The Lodge, Blackcraig was built in ca 1856 by the Arbroath born artist and architect Patrick Allan-Fraser. The Lodge, though not nearly as ornate as Blackcraig Castle itself or the mock-fortified medieval inspired bridge over the Ardle, is nonetheless a good example of the domestic end of the Scots Baronial style with some nicely executed features on the gabled porch and the canted bay window. The presence of a bay window in itself is worthy of mention in a building of this nature as this style, first introduced by the Victorian's, did not become common till after about 1870. Sadly many of the mouldings and other detail, all constructed in soft red sandstone, have suffered badly from weathering over the years. A photographic survey was carried out in advance of construction of a new extension at the rear of the site extending over the current parking bay and grassed area to the south west of the back door. |
