Description
The Outpatients building of the Victoria Jubilee Infirmary is a hospital outpatient wing constructed in 1932. It was designed by the architectural firm Cackett, Burns, Dick & Mackellar and built by Ball Brothers of North Shields. The structure is made of brown brick with red brick and Portland stone dressings, topped with a graduated Lakeland slate roof featuring a copper stack cone.
The building has one tall storey and consists of three bays, with a lower set-back flat-roofed right bay that has canted ends. It features a plinth and part-opening casement windows with glazing bars and radial heads set in stone jambs, adorned with console-keyed archivolts. An impost string continues into the end bay, and there are brick apron panels between the full-length jambs. A smaller square-headed window, similar in style, is located in the end bay. The deep, moulded eaves cornice adds to the architectural detail. The hipped roof has a central stack with a band and cornice, topped with a conical swept cap, and there is a coped parapet on the right bay. The entrance is through a panelled double door located in the left return, framed by a stone architrave.
This building was funded by a £15,000 bequest from Mrs. Wilson of Easby House, North Shields, and it was officially opened in September 1932. The left covered way, a small extension, and the link to the main hospital have been altered and are not of special interest.
