Kingwood Road Block of Former Kingswood School

This is a board school, built in 1898 by T J Bailey as part of Kingswood School. Later, it became part of a comprehensive school and is now associated with Fulham Cross Academy. A porch was added shortly after the original construction, and late 20th-century additions to the north are not of significant architectural interest.

The building is constructed of red and stock brick with stone dressings and slate roofs, featuring wooden turrets. It stands three to four storeys high with twenty-three windows. The majority of the windows are arranged in groups of three vertically. The primary south-western facade has a central five-bay section with a rusticated red brick ground floor. A brick porch was erected centrally on the ground floor shortly after construction. The first floor features elliptical arches supported by brick and stone pilasters, while the second floor has square shouldered architraves to its windows, a parapet, and pilasters. Moulded bands define the divisions between floors. This central portion is flanked by taller brick stair towers, each topped with an ogee-shaped slate roof and three octagonal wooden cupolas. The top floor has two round-headed sash windows, while the intermediate floors feature a giant elliptical arch with a keystone. A flight of steps with cast iron railings leads to the entrance.

Recessed wings, four bays in width, have a ramped parapet, cambered head linings to windows on the top floor, and panels displaying the date situated between the second and third floors. The ends of these wings terminate in three-bay sections under curved gables, including oculi, elliptical-headed arcading to the top floor, and flat-headed arcading to the lower floors.

The north-east elevation is simpler in design, with a central three-storey, twelve-bay section framed by pilasters. This is flanked by one-bay lower sections with a balustraded parapet and elliptical-headed windows to the top floor, leading to end wings with curved gables, oculi, elliptical-headed second-floor windows, decorative brick aprons, and a date plaque with swags.

The interior retains the original plan, including staircases with tiled walls, central halls on each floor, and classrooms separated by glazed partitions.
