Description
The Sir Titus Salt's Hospital, now an old people's home, was built in 1868 by Lockwood and Mawson for Titus Salt. It is constructed of pitch-faced stone with ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. It is three storeys high and designed in an Italianate style, with an ordered but asymmetrical facade of 11 bays. Several bays project forward and are gabled. The windows are round-arched, single-light, or paired with a central colonnette, some with decorative friezes. Larger windows have cambered heads and are set beneath pointed hoodmoulds. The doorway on the left has a 20th-century door and a fanlight inscribed with "SIR TITUS SALT's HOSPITAL / 1868" and carved above with "OPENED SEPT / 1868". An open porch to the right has a central colonnette, with 20th-century glazing reading "PRIVATE ENTRANCE" and "SIR TITUS SALT'S HOSPITAL". There is a band separating the floors and bracketed eaves. The gables have modillions, and the tympanum of one is richly carved with foliage and a central roundel. Tall stacks have modillioned cornices.
The left facade, facing Saltaire Road, is symmetrical, with a gabled central bay projecting forward. Its tympanum has foliage and the Salt coat of arms. A central canted bay window is on the ground floor, and a triple group window is centrally placed on the second floor, with a panel below featuring raised lettering reading "SIR TITUS SALT's HOSPITAL". Flanking windows are paired with round-arched lights and central colonnettes. Bracketed eaves and a modillioned gable are also present. The rear elevation is simpler, but the right end, closest to Saltaire Road, is treated as the main facade.
A low dwarf wall with square ashlar piers, each topped with decorative pyramidal caps, is attached to the left facade.
The hospital is part of the larger Saltaire model village.
