Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum in Lowestoft is a house that was converted into a museum and is dated 1828. The building features a façade made of whole pebbles with brick quoins and dressings, topped by a pantiled roof. It stands two storeys high and has three bays. The central entrance is a late 20th-century door set in a late 20th-century brick surround. There is one window on each side of the entrance, both in rebuilt surrounds and under 19th-century segmental brick arches; the left window is late 20th-century, while the right is a late 19th-century fixed type. Above, there are two late 20th-century casements separated by a stone plaque that bears the inscription: "Rebuilt 1828/ Huh Lockwood/ Vicar/ John Elph Church/ W Cleveland Warden." The building has a saw-toothed eaves cornice and a gabled roof with rebuilt late 20th-century internal gable-end stacks. There is a single-storey outshut added to the west gable. At the rear, a late 20th-century extension connects to the ground floor, above which are two single-light late 20th-century metal casements. The saw-tooth cornice continues around the building. Inside, the staircase rises straight from the entrance in an enclosed flight.
