Each Pavilion is essentially a porch without a house -- in architectural terms, a pedimented tetrastyle portico in the Doric order. They were designed by Sir John Vanbrugh and built in the early 1720s. Though they seem identical, there are slight differences. The eastern Pavilion is approached by five steps, for example, while the western one is approached by seven. The eastern Pavilion also, as Bevington points out, has a small lodge attached to it in the rear. Close by, just to the east, is the Bell Gate -- the entrance used by visitors to the garden (as opposed to guests of the Family), and the lodge was presumably used by the gate keeper.
