Description
Yeavering House is a Superintendent's House for cottage homes for children, built in 1903 by Leeson for the Newcastle Board of Guardians. It later served as a Police Headquarters and college. The building features cavity walls in stretcher bond, pebbledashed and painted on the first floor, and has a Welsh slate roof. It is designed in the Domestic Revival style and consists of two storeys plus attics, with three bays and single-storey one-bay side wings.
The central entrance has a two-leaf, six-panel door with a fanlight that includes radiating glazing bars, all under a semicircular hood. The ground floor has canted five-sided bay windows with 12- and eight-pane sash windows, while the upper floor features 12-pane sashes. A dentil cornice adorns the building, and it has a high hipped roof with two hipped dormers and tall corniced lateral stacks. The single-storey wings also have 12-pane sashes and canted bay windows on their returns.
At the rear, there is a single-storey six-bay linking range with 12-pane sashes. The tall, square water tower is notable for its cornice, large stone water spouts at the corners, and a tall parapet with a scalloped top. Yeavering House is a good example of early 20th-century architecture reflecting an enlightened approach to child care.
