Centenary House

Centenary House is a nurses' home, now used as offices, built in 1897 and restored and converted in 1990. The building is constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features slate mansard roofs, along with nine coped ridge stacks.

The exterior includes a plinth, rusticated quoins, a cornice on the first floor, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice with pediments. It has three storeys plus a basement and attics, arranged in an E-plan with a total of 16 windows. Most windows are plain sashes. The projecting central block has eight windows and features a balustrade, along with a projecting entrance bay that has an ashlar pediment with an enriched datestone. On either side of this block are three sashes, with the upper ones being smaller. The attic contains five box dormers.

On the ground floor, there are two sashes on either side, with two smaller sashes in the basement. The entrance bay has two sashes on the upper floors and below it, a Doric portico with an entablature and a moulded blocking course, leading up to a flight of steps with coped balustrade walls. Under the portico, there is a half-glazed door with a fanlight and sidelights. The set-back side bays have two windows on each floor and two box dormers. The pedimented wings feature full-height stone bow windows with lead half-domes and two windows on each floor, while the third-floor windows have ornamented aprons.

The interior has not been inspected. Centenary House was formerly an ancillary building to the nearby Royal Infirmary on Infirmary Road.
