A brick grandstand with a low pitched metal roof supported by steel rafters on timber posts and featuring wooden seating.
1919-1920: The John Colvin Stand was built with Council assistance and replaced an earlier pavilion on the site.
c1960s: The 1919 stand was extended at both ends at which time the original roofline was also altered from a steep pitched roof to a shallower pitch.
The original stand is well detailed with the use of truncated rendered columns, face brickwork and tapering column. It features a central ceremonial dais flanked by steps giving access to the stand.
The stand has public toilets and offices underneath.
The c1960s brick addition located at the northern end of the grandstand features a glassed-in area projecting to the rear of the stand as a metal clad structure. It appears to function as clubrooms or committee rooms. The John Colvin Stand is used as the main spectator viewing area for the annual Hobart Regatta. It is a dominant structure in the landscape of Macquarie Point.
A number of memorial plaques are located on the lower wall of the stand, commemorating members of the Royal Hobart Regatta Association who had fought in various armed conflicts and John Colvin, long time honorary secretary to the association.
