Description
The North Staffordshire School for the Deaf is a house that has been converted into a school, originally built in 1803. It features a combination of ashlar and brick construction topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The central section is made of stone and includes a convex projecting bay with full-height columns that support an overhanging entablature and a domed roof. The central entrance has double doors, and there are 12-pane sash windows on the curved section. The flanking bays are constructed of brick and also feature 12-pane sash windows on each floor, along with a stone plinth, sill bands, and a cornice. Inside, there is an original cantilevered staircase. This house was originally built for the potter Josiah Spode, and there have been additions made to the sides and rear of the building.
