Description
Part of Crossgate Hospital is a workhouse built in 1837 for the Durham Poor Law Union. It features coursed squared sandstone with painted ashlar dressings and a Lakeland slate roof with brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high and has nine bays, with the central three bays projecting slightly. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door with a three-paned overlight, set within a stone Tuscan doorcase that has a pediment-shaped panel and is flanked by acroteria. The seventh bay contains a renewed door and overlight in a raised stone surround beneath a cornice. Wedge stone lintels are present above the renewed door to the left of the first bay and above the sash windows, which have glazing bars and projecting stone sills. To the right, there is a one-storey extension with five bays that features flat stone lintels. The hipped roof is topped with two banded brick chimneys that have round yellow pots.
