ROBIN LODGE - Physical Description 1
Robin Lodge is a two storey cream brick 1940s duplex - with brown brick panels and painted rendered projecting banding - which stylistically appears to follow on from the 'International Style' hospitals and civic buildings which were being built in the 1940s.
The stairwell is enclosed within a projecting wing at the front of the building, which has a flat roof. This projecting stairwell wing is a notably striking and unusual element, with its contrasting planes of cream and brown brickwork, its slit windows, porthole and selective use of rendered trim.The flats behind have a hipped terracotta tiled roof and a cream brick chimney.
Features include: double hung multi-pane sash windows which turn the corner of the building; circular detail window to the stairwell; and stylised lettering on the front facade reading 'ROBIN LODGE'. The building appears to retain its orginal front fence, which houses the letterboxes for the building.
