St Charles' Hospital Nurses' Home

St Charles' Hospital Nurses' Home is a nurses' home built in 1881 by Henry Saxon Snell, with assistance from his sons, for the St Marylebone Board of Poor Law Guardians. The building is constructed of stock brick with minimal stone dressings on the lintels, sills, and gables, featuring slate roofs and brick stacks positioned regularly along the spinal ridge. The main structure presents a symmetrical design facing the hospital entrance, with a recessed four-bay, two-storey center flanked by three-bay projecting staircase towers that rise three storeys and include attic gables. The six-bay three-storey ranges end in single-bay four-storey towers that have dormers echoing the ventilating louvres of the hospital across the street.

There is a secondary range at a right angle to the east, also three storeys high, which terminates in a gable topped with a finial cross, similar crosses appearing on the other gables as well. The projecting ranges feature chequerwork brick in bands on the second floor, with decoratively-cut arched lintels above the windows on the upper storeys. The windows on the ground and second floors of the longer, recessed ranges have a simpler, flatter version of this treatment. All windows retain their original glazing bar sashes.

This building is notable as the oldest surviving nurses' home established by the Nightingale Fund for training nurses in Poor Law hospitals and creates a strong visual relationship with the main hospital opposite.
