Description
The Laundry Building at St Margarets Hospital was built in 1837-1838 by Lewis Vulliamy. It is constructed of English bond brick with raised yellow brick quoins and features a hipped Welsh slate roof. The building has a one-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a three-window range. There is a flat 19th-century timber hood over 20th-century double doors on the right side. The mid-19th-century two-light windows have flat brick arches and diamond-latticed lights, while there are two 20th-century ground-floor windows to the left. A louvred ventilator is located at the center of the roof, topped with a pyramidal leaded roof. The interior has not been inspected.
