Description
The caretaker's house for Crookesmoor Middle School was built in 1877, with some alterations made in the mid-20th century. Designed by Innocent & Brown for the Sheffield School Board, it features rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and has gabled and hipped slate roofs, including a gable stack. The building has a plinth and coped gables, standing two storeys tall with garrets and a two-window range. The front, which faces the main school building, includes a gable on the left with a top-hung casement window, flanked by a smaller window, both set on a sill band. Above this, there is a renewed cross casement window in the garret. Below, a casement window is flanked on the right by a door with an overlight. The left side of the building, facing the street, features a first-floor string course and a renewed cross casement window below. The interior has not been inspected. This caretaker's house is part of a group of similar designs added to board schools in 1877-78 and serves as an ancillary building to Crookesmoor Middle School.
