Description
A former cottage hospital, later used as a boys' club, was built in 1868 by George C. Haddon of Malvern and altered in 1891. The building is constructed of polychrome brick, using red brick with buff-coloured and blue brick bands and details, with a granite basement. It has a clay tile roof with gabled ends and crested ridgetiles, along with brick axial and gable-end stacks and metal ventilators with conical tops.
The building has a pavilion plan with a central entrance and flanking male and female wards; it is raised on service rooms in the basement. It is of High Victorian Gothic style.
The south front is symmetrical, with a 1:3:1 bay arrangement. The taller centre three bays project, and feature a central pointed arch doorway with a Gothic fanlight, plank door, and gabled timber canopy on brackets, approached by steps with iron rails. Segmental-headed windows are to the left and right. The flanking wings are set back and have large pointed arch windows with pierced stone tympanae in the gables, and two-light sash windows without glazing bars. The rear elevation is gabled, with a larger central gable featuring a pointed arch window with a stone tympanum, and the recessed bays between the gables filled in during the 1891 alterations.
The interior has a plastered entrance hall and axial passage with pointed arches and a quarry tile floor. The wards are lofty. Chimneypieces have been removed. A wrought-iron balustrade is present on the basement stairs. The basement contains simple fireplaces, one with an iron grate.
