Description
The entrance wing at Louth Hospital is a workhouse entrance range that was built between 1837 and 1839, designed by George Gilbert Scott. It features brick construction with brick and ashlar dressings, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof and ridge stacks. The building is single storey, with a tall central gateway that projects above the roofline, topped with a large ashlar pediment. The central round-headed archway is now glazed and has a moulded impost band and a large rusticated ashlar arch.
The right wing remains unaltered and includes two glazing bar sashes with pilasters between them, as well as a projecting end pavilion that has corner pilasters and two glazing bar sashes. The left wing has been altered; it contains two original glazing bar sashes and an inserted doorway. The projecting end pavilion has been rebuilt with a broad pedimented facade, also featuring corner pilasters and a tall central glazing bar window flanked by two smaller glazing bar sashes.
The rear elevation retains the original archway with a pediment and has small single-storey projections on either side. The left wing features six original glazing bar sashes, while the altered right wing has later flat-roofed additions and a taller gable with three windows.
