Hawke

Hawke is a boys' hostel built around 1925 to 1933 by Buckland and Heywood. The building is constructed from red brick with stone dressings and some darker brick accents. It features a hipped plain tile roof behind a brick parapet and has an H-plan layout with identical east and west fronts. The structure is two storeys high and consists of nine bays.

The exterior includes rusticated brick quoins and a flush brick plinth outlined in darker brick. The parapet has stone coping and rectangular brick panels, also outlined in darker brick, with a stone cornice band. The central bay is canted at the first floor and parapet. On either side, there are four horned sash windows with three panes by four panes on the ground floor, and similar upper hung casements on the first floor.

A central stone doorcase features a moulded stone surround with angle pilasters that have stylized capitals and moulded bases, topped with stone finials resting on the cornice. The entablature bears the house name. The pair of doors has three raised and fielded panels each, with an overlight featuring glazing bars arranged in a diamond pattern. Above, the first-floor window has a moulded stone surround and also consists of three panes by four panes.

Darker brickwork is used in the flat arches of the windows and in their surrounds, extending above and below to form apron-like panels beneath the first-floor windows and a shallower feature of only three courses below the ground floor windows. The south face includes a central pedimented bay with a first-floor window in a stone surround. A single-storey housemaster's accommodation has been inserted at the front of the facade. The northern arcaded service court features a northern arch that fills the top of the H-plan, using various sizes of brickwork in the detailing of the capitals. This building is one of ten identical houses for pupils.
