Description
Frederick Reckitt Havens, located on Laburnum Avenue in Kingston upon Hull, is a former old people's home built in 1912, likely designed by Runton & Barry. The building is constructed of brick with imitation timber-framing and rendered nogging, topped with plain tile roofs. It features eight external gable stacks and three ridge stacks. The structure is single-storey with a layout of eight houses in two rows of four.
The main block includes two large four-light windows and has single gables on either side, each with a framed entrance that features an arched bressumer above two two-light windows and two panelled doors. At each end of the main block, there is a link building with a board door. The side wings mirror the main block's central gable and entrance, facing inward, and each has a four-light window on either side. The returns that face the street also have a similar central gable and flanking windows. The left building displays a bronze plaque indicating the date of construction. This complex was designed for single residents and is part of a series of homes established by the Reckitt family, closely associated with the nearby Garden Village.
