      BUCKLEY LODGE - Physical Description 1

      An Italianate styled, asymmetrically planned stuccoed brick Villa, with an attached tower, in the French manner. A widow's walk, crowns a flared, slated roof tower which is adorned with architrave occuli, to each face and ornate stucco ornament upon its walls. Panels, Swags and acanthus friezes are included on the tower, whilst more restrained detail is used on the house.

      Stuccoed wings extend down Buckley Street and an altered stable block lies at the rear; the house once occupied the land through to Primrose Street.
