"Located immediately near the main entrance to Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor General in Ottawa, the attractive Rideau Hall: Gate Lodge is a two-storey, off-white octagonal building with projecting, one-storey sections. An eight-sided conical roof with a central chimney shaft caps the building. Clad in brick that replicates rusticated stone courses and radiating voussoirs, its walls on the ground storey feature round-arched windows, all with prominent keystones, some of which are decorated with masks. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building."
