Description
Joseph Banks' Almshouses, built in 1862, consist of ten almshouses made of red brick with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The building features five red brick ridge stacks with tall octagonal paired funnels that have moulded tops. It is a single storey structure with attics and presents a symmetrical front with 19 bays. The front has a plinth and ten ledged planked doors arranged in gabled pairs, with the middle pair being more prominent and framed by moulded brick Tudor arched surrounds. The windows are two-light cast iron latticed casements, and all openings are topped with cambered brick arches. The roof includes four gabled dormers with two-light casements and slate-hung cheeks. Each gable end has single canted oriels with moulded ashlar tops and bases. The front gables feature blank trilobes alternating with ashlar panels, which are inscribed with the Banks insignia and the date 1862. Above the central door pair, a larger tablet commemorates the foundation of the original almshouses in 1728 by Joseph Banks, Esq., MP for Revesby. The almshouses were rebuilt by J. Banks Stanhope.
