The Ogilvie Almshouses

The Ogilvie Almshouses is a terrace of 20 almshouses, built in 1887, as indicated by a tablet on the west gable wall. The structure is made of brick, featuring pebbledash render and mock half-timbering on the first floor, with a pantiled roof. There is a string course at the first-floor level. The building is two stories high, with each dwelling having a single window range that includes sashes with pointed glazing bars in the upper frame. Each unit has paired entrance doors located under a projecting porch, featuring plain boarded pointed doors with glazed spandrels. The center gable projects and includes a ground floor bay window designed like a conservatory, along with a clock face on the upper gable wall. A wooden bell-cote with a pyramidal roof is centrally mounted above the main roof range, and ornamental bargeboarding decorates the gable ends and porches.
