Newcastle General Hospital Young People'S Unit And Dwarf Walls In Front

The Newcastle General Hospital Young People's Unit, originally a house, dates from the early to mid-19th century. It is built of sandstone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has a basement and two storeys, with five bays, the central bay projecting slightly. Access is via four steps leading to a central part-glazed six-panelled door set within a Tuscan porch. The ground floor has plain sash windows in architraves, which include cornices, while the first floor features windows with projecting sills. There is a sill band on the ground floor and a band above the sill level on the first floor. The building is accented by giant end pilasters with incised panels and has a wide eaves gutter cornice. The low-pitched hipped roof is topped with two corniced ridge chimneys. Dwarf walls with flat coping flank the steps leading to the porch.
