Description
The Hackney Borough Disinfecting Station is a Grade II listed single-storey building constructed in red brick with stone dressing. Designed by Gordon and Gunton for Hackney Borough Council, it features twin gables separated by a stack and has two large Diocletian windows in the principal rooms, one of which has a modern steel shutter. The roof is tiled and concreted. Inside, the walls are lined with white glazed tiles and have a coloured cornice band.
This building was established by the Public Health Committee, led by Hackney's Chief Medical Officer J. King Warry M.D., under the authority of the Local Government Act of 1899. The steam-cleaning operations were powered by the Borough Electricity Station located next door. The Hackney Borough Disinfecting Station is a rare and complete example of a purpose-built disinfecting station.
