Description
Park Hospital, originally the Seamen's Orphanage, was built between 1871 and 1874 by A. Waterhouse. It is constructed of common brick with red stone dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a symmetrical front with 19 bays. The first to third bays project and consist of three storeys with attics, featuring two-bay and one-bay gables. The fourth to eighth bays are two storeys with attics, while the ninth bay projects and has three storeys with an attic and gable. The tenth to fourteenth bays are two storeys with attics, and the fifteenth to eighteenth bays are recessed, comprising three storeys with an attic. The eighteenth bay is slightly higher, and the nineteenth bay includes a projecting five-storey tower with a pavilion roof.
Architectural details include a first-floor sill course and a flush lintel band, with a will course on the second floor for the first three bays. The top features a bracketed cornice. Windows are designed with mullions and transoms, arranged in two and three lights with flush relieving arches. The first-floor oriels are canted with pierced parapets in the third, ninth, and seventeenth bays. The tenth to fourteenth bays have tall first-floor windows with three cusped lights and two transoms set between weathered buttresses. The fourth to eighth bays feature half dormers and alternating raking dormers, while the tenth to fourteenth bays have dormers.
The tower includes an octagonal corner turret and a top balustrade, with a canted bay on the ground floor. The fifth floor has pointed cusped windows with checker work above. To the left return, there is a three-bay lean-to porch that adjoins the eighteenth bay, which has a pointed entrance of two orders with a ship relief above it. Additionally, there is a relief of the City arms on the tower.
