Caretaker's Lodge, Botanical Gardens

The caretaker's lodge is an exquisite building situated at the main entrance of the Botanical Gardens. It was designed in 1880 and used by the Directors of the Gardens for meetings. A fully-functional black and gold clock adorned the outside of the building. The clock was built in memory of George Samuel Jenman who trained at Kew Gardens, and was a Government Botanist and Superintendent of the Botanical Gardens from 1879 to 1902. The image shows the caretaker's lodge and clock.
